San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is quickly becoming a training camp favorite among fans. He is consistently leaving practices with a long touchdown or two under his belt and looks like one of quarterback Brian Hoyer's favorite targets.
Goodwin is fast. Really fast.
ESPN recently ranked him as the second-fastest player in the NFL behind just Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill. It turns out, Goodwin is also a really nice guy.
As if he needed other ways to win over fans, Goodwin may have added to the reasons to like him following Monday's practice – the 49ers' fourth of training camp. The speedy receiver took the time to sing "Happy Birthday" to a young fan in attendance. You can watch the video below, which was posted on the 49ers' official Facebook page.
During practice on Monday, Goodwin had a little fun with the 49ers.com reporting crew by staring them down and then pointing to his shoes as a reminder of his speed. He showed off that speed during team drills when he caught two touchdown passes, one of which was a 60-yard pass from Hoyer.
"I'm constantly evolving as a receiver," Goodwin said on Saturday. "Each day, I come out, I do what I'm told, I fix the little things that I need to when watching film. It's continuing to show and that's a credit to my coach, my teammates for believing in me, pushing me each day and correcting me on the little details."

"No, the NFL is not scripted," a smiling Purdy responded. However, the quarterback added, "Good

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
