San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin joined NFL Total Access on Tuesday and spoke with Lindsay Rhodes about his quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, and his expectations for the team heading into the 2018 season.
Rhodes asked Goodwin what it was last season that clicked so well between himself and Garoppolo.
"Just chemistry, play calling," Goodwin said. "We studied our plays. We worked on our craft in practice. We just mesh well with one another. That goes to say, Jimmy, as well as the other quarterbacks on the team and other receivers and tight ends, anybody who has the ball in their hands, all the work is put in throughout the week, and we get to showcase that on Sundays. So that's a testament to all the hard work and preparation that we were able to do each week and we just were able to connect on Sundays."
Goodwin was an asset to Garoppolo and the other 49ers quarterbacks last season. When targeting him on throws of 40-or-more yards, his quarterbacks combined for a
phenomenal passer rating of 120.8 in 2017, which ranked first in the league.
Goodwin was then asked about his expectations for the upcoming season.
"My expectations are to do better than we did last year, to make it as far as our talent will allow us to," he responded. "Our preparation, the things that some people overlook, it's not always the most talented team, it's really the team that plays as a team the best and puts up the most points and stops the other team from scoring more points. So as long as we can coordinate that offensively, defensively, special teams-wise, I think we have a great future."
Goodwin also discussed buying his mother and sister a new home. It was something he has been preparing for since he was young.
"I always wanted to buy my mom a house," Goodwin said. "I always wanted to make sure my sister was taken care of. I wanted to make sure I could help in any way possible. It was a no-brainer for me, whenever I got a contract extension, I knew that I was going to buy my mom a house."

Jeff Garcia praises Brock Purdy, discusses 49ers QB's growth potential
Jeff Garcia has been impressed by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in his two seasons with the team. As the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Purdy was thrust into the spotlight after the 49ers faced quarterback injuries and proved his NFL mettle.
While some doubts lingered after his rookie season, Purdy's resilience shone through. Despite starting only five regular-season games, he guided the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game, where, unfortunately, he suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his throwing arm. Garcia was among those who wondered whether Purdy could maintain his success into his second season.
Last year, coming off surgery, Purdy set a single-season franchise record with 4,280 passing yards. His impressive performance
PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
