TAMPA, Fla. -- Chris Godwin is enjoying arguably the finest start to any season in Year 8 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But for the Pro Bowl wide receiver, the present is the only thing that matters.
He could allow his mind to drift from it -- and he'll sometimes do that in the quiet moments away from football -- but then it would rob him of today, and he needs today.
He's recorded three touchdowns in the first three games of the season -- already beating last year's total (two) from the regular season and postseason combined -- and he's tied for third most in the NFL (teammate Mike Evans also has three).
