When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Penn State football’s Chris Godwin in third round of last year’s draft, a lot of fans wondered how he’d fit. The Bucs drafted him after signing DeSean Jackson in the offseason. Tampa Bay already boasted 50-50, jump ball receiver Mike Evans and Adam Humphries, so how would Godwin fit?
Well, for the first part of the season, he struggled to get on the field and produce. Despite having a quality offseason, through the first eight weeks of the 2017 campaign, he caught only eight passes for 83 yards. A backlogged depth chart and inconsistency at quarterback plagued the team.
