It was a unique setup full of competition. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin didn’t even have to race his stiffest competition, who was disqualified in the first round for two false starts. Goodwin went on to defeat Carolina Panthers speedster, Donte Jackson.Goodwin took a photo that included a giant check worth a million bucks:It turns out; he may have to wait to cash the check.According to Daniel Kaplan of the Athletic, organizers of this past weekend “40 Yards of Gold” event—that featured more than 20 NFL players—have told the competitors that they can’t cash their checks until this Friday.Charles Stewart co-organized the event https://www.49ersfanshop.com/C.-J.-Beathard-Jersey , but wouldn’t say why participants had to wait to cash their checks. Here’s what he did say:What an embarrassment. The event was organized at the last minute. We were under the impression it was Ted Ginn’s idea—who dropped out of the race last minute. An agent who had a player involved spoke on the event as well:I don’t blame players for dropping out due to injury risk.

Having those two guys participating in any football activities is a welcome sign to the 49ers. It’s doubtful that Jimmy was moving around much when he was throwing, but just him going through the motions is an important step in his rehab. Hopefully both players will be a full go for the offseason programKyle Shanahan and his coaching staff are down in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl. It will give them valuable time to work out draft prospects before they have to select in the draft in April.
