Bucs Have Lofty Expectations for Chris Godwin

Last week, as Buccaneers Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken considered the future of wide receiver Chris Godwin, who came on strong at the end of his rookie season, Monken made this observation:

"I see him as a starter."

That's a strong and complimentary assessment, but it also sets off bells in one's head for the simple fact that the Buccaneers already have very competent starters at all three receiver spots (X, Z and slot). There doesn't seem to be any reason to reduce the amount of time that Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries – three very important cogs in the NFL's fourth-ranked passing attack last season – are on the field.
