The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to win their division despite a number of injuries to some of their key players.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most impactful injury was to veteran wide receiver Chris Godwin.<\/p>\n

In a recent article by PFF<\/a>, they talk about some of the key players on every NFL team’s starting lineup. For the reigning NFC South champions, they list Godwin as an “X-factor” for the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

“Godwin was potentially on his way to his best NFL season before suffering a season-ending injury in Week 7 against Baltimore,” PFF wrote. “His 85.7 PFF receiving grade was the second best of his career. Still just 29 years old with eight excellent seasons under his belt, Godwin has a chance to add even more firepower to an offense that surged down the stretch toward another NFC South title.”<\/p>\n

Despite playing just five games this past season, Godwin finished the year with the third-most receiving yards on the Buccaneers. Even though he missed the majority of 2024, people have not forgotten how good he is.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old wideout finished the 2023 season with 1,024 receiving yards, which was his third season in a row eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark. Mike Evans carried the wide receiver corps with his 11th-straight 1,000-yard season, so he will be relieved to have his partner in crime back.<\/p>\n

The Bucs were able to win the NFC South in 2024 … even with this standout player not being fully available … so adding Godwin back into the mix could really put the team over the top.<\/p>\n
