Goodwin Runs Fastest 40 Time At Combine; Adidas Promises Deal

Univ. of Texas WR Marquise Goodwin ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, "easily the fastest time of the day" (ESPN.com, 2/24). This comes after adidas promised a shoe deal "to the player that ran the fastest time." The company promoted the offer via billboards in Indianapolis and a cover wrap ad on the Indianapolis Star. Players who sign with adidas "can not wear the company's logos on the playing field" because unlike Nike and Under Armour, adidas "doesn't have a marketing deal with the NFL" (ESPN.com, 2/24).
