After coming in 10th in the Olympic long jump in 2012, Bills receiver Marquise Goodwin spent three years focusing primarily on football. But now he’s focused on making the U.S. Olympic team in Rio, and he’s jumping longer than ever.

Goodwin jumped 8.42 meters (27 feet, 8 inches) in a competition in England on Sunday, and with that jump along with his 8.45-meter jump last month, Goodwin now has the two longest jumps in the world this year. Goodwin is far outdistancing the 7.80-meter jump that earned him 10th place in 2012, and also outdistancing the 8.31-meter jump that gold medalist Greg Rutherford had in 2012.

If Goodwin makes the U.S. Olympic team, it won’t necessarily be good news for the Bills, who would be without him in training camp and at least the first two weeks of the preseason. However, the Bills knew when they drafted Goodwin that it was possible he’d turn his attention back to the long jump.

Goodwin played in just two games last season before going on injured reserve. His best year was his rookie season in 2013, when he caught 17 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns, and added 351 yards on kickoff returns.
