Chris Godwin has established himself as a reliable and consistent receiver for the Buccaneers, with four 1,000-yard receiving seasons in the past five years. He played a pivotal role in Tampa Bay's Super Bowl LV victory and continues to be vital to the team's offense in 2024, contributing significantly with 21 catches for 250 yards and three touchdowns in just three games. His intelligence on the field, understanding of defenses, and commitment to winning have made him a favorite of quarterback Baker Mayfield, who praises Godwin's consistency and reliability. Despite not having spoken to Barkley recently, the mutual respect and camaraderie between the two remain strong, with Barkley emphasizing Godwin's status as one of the best wide receivers when healthy.
