Chris Godwin is enjoying the dog days of summer

Bucs WR Chris Godwin is spending some time chilling with his pup.

Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin graciously gifted new quarterback Tom Brady his No. 12 jersey, opting to switch to No. 14.

The fourth-year receiver is coming off a career year in 2019, when he had 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns, career highs in all three categories. Now with Brady as his QB, Godwin could see his stock rise even more in 2020, so Tampa Bay may want to sign him to an extension sooner rather than later.

While the Pro Bowl receiver is readying for the start of training camp, he’s enjoying his last few relaxing days at home with his fiancee and pup.

Take a look.

Godwin and his soon-to-be bride Mariah run the Team Godwin Foundation, dedicated to finding homes for pets in need.

Godwin also posted the below image today on Instagram, which earned a comment from former Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston, who is now with the Saints.

Throwback Thursday: Chris Godwin mic’d up for Week 1 of the 2019 season

Take a look back at a mic’d up Chris Godwin during last season’s Week 1 opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

2020 could be another big year for wide receiver Chris Godwin. The Bucs star had his coming out party in 2019, finishing the year with 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns, earning his first Pro Bowl selection.

Godwin will now have Tom Brady throwing him passes, meaning a big payday for the Bucs receiver could well be on the horizon.

In honor of #ThrowbackThursday, let’s take a look back at a mic’d up Godwin during last season’s Week 1 opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

Tom Brady reposts this Mike Evans image on his Instagram story

Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans took to Instagram recently to let everyone know the Bucs are coming, and TB12 was all about it.

Tom Brady will have the benefit of working with two Pro Bowl wide receiver in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin when he gets under center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this fall.

Brady, the six-time Super Bowl champion, is hoping to make it ring number seven in 2020, and to do that he’ll have to guide the Bucs back to the postseason for the first time since 2007. And if he gets all the way to Super Bowl LV, he and the Bucs will become the first team in NFL history to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium.

While we’ve yet to see the talented trio of Brady, Evans and Godwin on the field together, Evans is letting everyone know the Bucs are coming. The wideout took to his Instagram story today to post the below image.

Take a look.

Brady reposted the image on his own Instagram story, adding a few emojis for emphasis.

You’ve been warned, NFL. Tampa Bay’s time is now.

Godwin earned Second-Team All-Pro honors and his first Pro Bowl selection.

But if you thought that’s the best Godwin has to offer, think again. The wide receiver posted the below video on his Instagram account, showing off some highlights from this past season. And in Godwin’s own words, he tells you what his goals are.

Godwin may not be No. 12 anymore, but he’s still got plenty left in the tank.

Chris Godwin shows off his new skill on Instagram

Bucs WR Chris Godwin took to his Instagram recently to show fans a new skill he is working on this offseason.

Chris Godwin had a career year in 2019, posting his best season as a pro and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. The third-year receiver out of Penn State finished the season with 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns in just 14 games.

Now that six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is officially the Bucs’ new quarterback, Godwin could easily see his numbers improve next season, a scary thought for opponents, but an exciting one for fantasy owners.

While Godwin may or may not be surrendering his No. 12 jersey to the Golden Boy, he is taking some time this offseason to practice a new skill, and he took to Instagram recently to share it with fans.

Take a look.

Chris Godwin, Tom Brady and the No. 12 jersey

Now that quarterback Tom Brady is heading to the Buccaneers, will wide receiver Chris Godwin hand over the infamous No. 12 jersey?

Now that Tom Brady has officially signed his contract to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it’s time to address the elephant in the room: that No. 12 jersey.

As I wrote the other week before Brady announced his decision to leave the New England Patriots, the Bucs’ potential signing of the Golden Boy could make things awkward for Pro Bowl receiver Chris Godwin, who dons the No. 12 jersey for Tampa Bay. Brady wore 12 his entire 20-year career with the Pats and made it part of his infamous TB12 brand.

So, now that Brady is officially Tampa bound, what will Godwin do? The receiver answered that question in a video interview with the Bucs’ website.

Per Godwin:

“Obviously if he doesn’t want it, or if he’s not making a big deal out of it, I’m definitely going to keep it. We’ll see how that goes. I think just out of respect for what he’s done, what he’s accomplished, just kind of the career he’s built for himself, you have to lean into that respect.”

Godwin has worn the No. 12 since his high school days. Brady, who wore No. 10 at Michigan, wanted that number when he joined the Pats, but it was already taken. Turns out it was the Patriots’ then-equipment manager who assigned Brady No. 12.

Even if Brady wanted No. 10, that number is already taken by wide receiver Scotty Miller. It should be interesting to see which number Brady eventually lands on. But, one thing is for sure, you can bet his Bucs jersey will be one of the top sellers in the league next year.

Chris Godwin is here to provide you with some Monday motivation

See what Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin posted on his Instagram today for #MotivationMonday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Chris Godwin had one of the biggest breakout seasons of 2019. The third-year pro out of Penn State put up career numbers with 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honors in the process.

Head coach Bruce Arians has said that signing Godwin to an extension is “high” on the team’s list of offseason priorities, but don’t think for a second that a new hefty contract is going to stifle Godwin’s drive for greatness.

The receiver took to Instagram today to post this motivational quote on his story. Take a look.

Chris Godwin lands at No. 20 on PFF’s list of the top 101 players of 2019

See why Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was named one of the top 20 players in the NFL in 2019.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not have been postseason participants this year, but their season felt like a win in many ways, namely, that they managed to avoid a third-straight 5-11 season by going 7-9, including 4-2 down the stretch.

While quarterback Jameis Winston’s 5,000-yard-30-interception season was the main storyline of the Bucs’ 2019 season, the emergence of third-year receiver Chris Godwin cannot be overlooked.

Godwin finished the year with career highs across the board: 86 receptions, 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns in just 14 games. His stellar play earned him the No. 20 spot on Pro Football Focus’ list of the top 101 players from the 2019 season.

Here’s what they had to say about the Bucs’ star receiver:

“This season, Chris Godwin emerged as one of the best receivers in all of football, and he was a human highlight reel in Tampa Bay where Jameis Winston was intent on airing the ball out and only vaguely concerned with whether the ball went close to its intended receiver. Godwin caught 75.4% of his targets (while Jameis completed just 60.7% of all his passes) and had just one drop all season despite making several circus catches. Overall, when targeting Godwin, Winston had a passer rating of 121.7.”

Fellow Bucs receiver Mike Evans landed at No. 49:

“Due to injury, Mike Evans played as many as 200 fewer snaps than some of the other wideouts on this list, and yet, he still finished the year with 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns. Evans gained 2.3 yards per route run this season and formed the league’s most explosive receiver tandem with Chris Godwin in Bruce Arians’ high-octane passing offense in Tampa. Evans made some of the biggest catches of the year for the Bucs and makes the PFF Top 101 for the fourth time in his career.”

Shockingly, Tampa Bay linebacker Shaquil Barrett, who led the NFL in sacks this past season with 19.5, did not make this list. Talk about a snub.

Throwback Thursday: Chris Godwin breaks onto the scene in 2019

Check out some of the best highlights of the year from Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had quite the season. The third-year pro out of Penn State lit up the league, finishing the year with 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl and All-Team Second-Pro honors.

Godwin’s big year helped make him a household name, especially among NFL fantasy football owners. And, you can be sure he’ll be one of the top receivers taken when fantasy drafts come back around next season.

For now, though, enjoy a little throwback Thursday action with some Godwin highlights, courtesy of the Buccaneers’ official Instagram account.

Bucs teammates show Chris Godwin love on Instagram for his Pro Bowl selection

See what Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates had to say on Instagram after wide receiver Chris Godwin posted about his Pro Bowl selection.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already ruled wide receiver Chris Godwin out for Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans with a hamstring injury suffered in last week’s win over the Detroit Lions.

Godwin, the third year receiver out of Penn State, will likely be held out over the team’s final two games rather than risk further injury. If it is the end of Godwin’s season, he finishes the year with career highs across the board in receptions (86), receiving yards (1,333) and touchdowns (9).

His breakout season not only earned him the respect of fantasy football owners everywhere, but also a spot in the Pro Bowl, his first selection. Godwin joined fellow receiver Mike Evans and linebacker Shaq Barrett on the roster.

Godwin took to Instagram the other day to voice his appreciation.

Two of his fellow Bucs teammates replied to his IG post, showing their support.

Given the hamstring injury, it remains to be seen whether or not Godwin participates in the event.

Tampa Bay will look to down the Texans on Saturday with a depleted receiving corps to pull their record above .500 for the first time this season.
