Chris Godwin on giving up No. 12 to Tom Brady: ‘At first it bothered me a little bit’

Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin wasn’t immediately thrilled to give up his jersey number, 12 — not even to the greatest quarterback of all time.
Tom Brady arrived in Tampa and he brought his number with him. That meant Godwin had to give it up.
I have been (wearing No. 12) since high school and it means a lot to me,” he said. “At first it bothered me a little bit, it was kind of getting at me because it is part of my identity, but when the GOAT comes calling you kind of concede to him, Chris Godwin

Like I said, hopefully I can get a ring or two or three out of that. I was more than happy to do it. I have a new persona for me, 1-4. We’re going to move forward and make something special with it, Chris Godwin

Godwin had his breakout season in 2018 and established himself as one of the leagues best receivers in 2019 with 86 catches for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns
