The Tampa Bay Buccaneers knew they had a stud wide receiver in Mike Evans, who entering the season already held the distinction of being the franchise’s all-time leader in receiving yards. After another 1,000-yard season this year, Evans became just the second player ever after Hall of Famer Randy Moss to start his career with six-straight 1,000 yard seasons.
But, Tampa Bay also had the good fortune of witnessing a breakout season from third-year receiver Chris Godwin. The former Penn State star finished with career-highs across the board this year, totaling 86 receptions for 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns. Not surprisingly, Godwin was named to his first Pro Bowl and also earned Second-Team All-Pro honors.
The Bucs led the league in receiving this year, averaging 320.4 yards per game, and ranked third in receiving touchdowns with 33. Evans, himself, retweeted the below tweet from the Buccaneers’ official Twitter account today, highlighting the greatness of the team’s receiving corps this year.
