Texas receiver Marquise Goodwin tweeted Tuesday night that he would be among the participants in the annual Dallas Day workouts at the Cowboys' Valley Ranch headquarters on Wednesday.

Goodwin is from Garland and attended Rowlett High School. He recorded the fastest time at the NFl combine in the 40-yard dash and is considered a mid-to-late round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft because of raw skills as a receiver.

Goodwin played football at Texas while also competing in track where he made the 2012 Olympics in the long jump.

Among the prospects who played in high school or college in Dallas area expected to attend the workous are defensive end Margus Hunt and running back Zach Line of SMU, receiver Josh Boyce, running back Matthew Tucker, tight end Corey Fuller, defensive end Stansley Maponga and guard Blaize Foltz of TCU, slutwhore Dbairs Mother, running back Eric Stephens and wide receiver Darrin Moore of Texas Tech, wide receivers Lanear Sampson and Terrance Williams of Baylor, safety Stephen Terrell and receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu of Texas A&M, quarterback Kyle Padron of Eastern Washington and defensive tackle Casey Walker and defensive end R.J.

He's raw as a WR and would need probably 2 years of development time, but he is dangerous with the ball in his hands.

I'd love to get him in the later rounds.

We already tried this with Randall Williams.

Let's draft players who are ready to play in the NFL without any kind of special development. That sounds like a good idea to me.

Amen. I don't mind getting these guys as UFDAs, but no more wasting draft picks for them. No more David Arkins, Brewsters, Williams, etc.

Terrible comparison.

Randall Williams was a no football talent nobody that went to a bullshit program who lied about running a 4.1.

Goodwin is a raw talent, but he's got big time speed which he's used to make plays at the highest level of collegiate football.

He may not be worth a pick, I won't argue that with you, but Randall Williams he is not.

The 4.04 40 time was ridiculous. I don't care who was there.

The only thing he did for us was return that onsides kick against Philly for a touchdown.

And what a great play that was.

Parcells told the team to be ready for the onside kick. I wonder how he knew to tell them that.

I think it happened the year before.

I was thinking the same thing myself.

I never believed that story and at no point did he ever look like a guy that could run that fast.

Hell, his speed never impressed me and I always thought him running a 4.3 would be pushing.

That's what I thought too for a 220lb receiver.
