Most rookies enter their first season in the NFL wide-eyed, apprehensive and a maybe even a little intimidated. Tampa Bay Buccaneers newest wide receiver Chris Godwin, on the other hand, has embraced his new job with open arms and is making sure that his presence is felt.

Godwin, who was a third-round pick in this year’s draft, has already impressed coaches as well as his teammates and has distinguished himself in OTAs. Godwin hasn’t stopped making plays and has showcased his speed and skill set during practices which has made general manager Jason Licht, coach Koetter and the entire Bucs staff, incredibly excited about him.

“Wideout is really the same as the O-line,” coach Koetter said when discussing Godwin. “You’re going to get your best guys out there and you’re going to move them around matchup-wise. We haven’t had very many days where we’ve had all of our receivers here on the same day. The most consistent guys since we’ve been out here have been Godwin and Adam. Those two guys have been making plays every day. I’m real happy with what Chris is doing, but he could play in or out, either one.”

Godwin joins the Buccaneers after spending his college campaign torching defenses during his time in Happy Valley when he suited up for Penn State. Godwin was incredibly productive during college and is slated to play a key role in the Buccaneers offense this season. Even despite the Bucs having numerous weapons to utilize this season, you can count on Godwin to be at the center of it all alongside DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans, O.J. Howard & Co. You can also count on Godwin being a key contributor to the Bucs success in 2017.
