TORONTO -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marquise Goodwin can jump so far that he could almost leap from the 10-yard line all the way into the end zone.

"My teammates give me a hard time about that all the time," Goodwin told ESPN.com. "'Hey, if you catch the ball and get in an open field, I want you to long jump from the 10 into the end zone.' ... I might make it happen one of these days."

It would certainly make for a great end zone celebration video.

"I've got to get into the end zone with the ball first," he said Tuesday. "I've seen so many celebrations where the ball doesn't make it to the end zone. I have to make sure that ball crosses the line first."
