“From the minute Marquise joined our team, he has shown us everything we want to see in a 49er,” – said the 49ers General Manager John Lynch. “He leads by example with a tremendous work ethic, a trait that helped him expand his repertoire as a football player and post his most successful season as a pro last year. Marquise earned this extension by coming in every day focused on doing his job and, as a result, he made himself and his teammates better.“
Marquise Goodwin joined the 49ers in 2017 on a two-year deal, after his contract with the Buffalo Bills expired. He immediately made a big impact, finishing the season with 56 catches and 962 receiving yards, both career highs for him. He also was ranked third in NFL in yards per catches with 17.2.
“I definitely feel like this offense is good for me in the sense that it allows me to be a football player,” – said Goodwin. “It gives me an opportunity to be out there and make plays, and that’s what you would want in a scheme and a system. It’s not just targeting me. Everybody gets to shine. That’s what’s good about this offense. It’s not just a one-man wrecking crew, not one guy just making it happen. It’s a lot of guys getting an opportunity to make plays.“
