When the 2016 season ended, the off-season mission was crystal clear for the Buccaneers: get Jameis Winston more weapons. This so-called “Weapons For Winston” campaign led the Bucs to making three key additions: star receiver DeSean Jackson in free agency, do-it-all tight end O.J. Howard in the first round, and an underrated receiver from Penn State in the third round, named Chris Godwin.
With just one game remaining in the season, Godwin’s stat line of 27 catches for 414 yards isn’t anything to go too crazy about, but when stacked up with his fellow rookie receivers we can see that he’s actually been among the three best this year.
