As he did the first time such comments were relayed to him, Godwin noted his appreciation but said it wasn't such numerical goals that are driving him on the practice field this offseason.

"I think it's cool to be talked about like that, but like I said before, those aren't really things I focus on," he said. "I feel like if I do, I'm focusing on the wrong stuff. The biggest thing for me is going out there and getting better every day so that when the games start I can be a guy that my team can rely on."

Godwin says the arrival of Arians and a new coaching staff, and with it a new system to be learned, has added an extra challenge this offseason, albeit a welcome win. There is new terminology to be learned and "intricate details" that apply to various routes and offensive concepts. Godwin called the installment of the offense "a work in progress."

"It's very tough, not only just the plays themselves but understanding the timing of everything, when you're supposed to be open, the progressions," he said. "It can be pretty challenging, but that's why we're coming out here and doing the hard work."

The practice ended on a good note for the offense, with tight end O.J. Howard leaping very high to make a catch just past the end zone in the middle of the field. It looked like Godwin might have been the actual target farther into the end zone, but he didn't mind his teammate getting the six points. It's already clear that Godwin is going to be a trusted target around the end zone, which means he will have an opportunity to put more points on the board when the games begin. He already saw his touchdown production jump from one as a rookie (on the Bucs' last offensive play of that season) to seven last year, and now it may go even higher.
