Yesterday, 2012 US Olympian and two-time NCAA long jump champion Marquise Goodwin caught his first touchdown pass of the year for the San Francisco 49ers as he hauled in an 83 yard bomb for a touchdown. Before he crossed the goal line, an emotional Goodwin pointed to the sky and then once in an end-zone dropped to a knee, crossed himself and crumpled to the turf as he was surrounded many of his teammates. See it for yourself.
