The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will enter 2020 with Tom Brady as their quarterback, meaning receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, both of whom eclipsed 1,100 receiving yards last season, will have a six-time Super Bowl champion throwing to them.
While the Bucs lost receiver Breshad Perriman in free agency, they used their fifth-round pick in last week’s NFL draft to select wideout Tyler Johnson out of the University of Minnesota, making him just the fourth wide receiver ever taken in the fifth round by the Bucs. The former Golden Gopher had a monster 2019 season, finishing with 86 receptions 1,318 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns, so he could turn out to be one of the underrated gems of the draft.
