Freddie Martino: Always Ready

With four minutes left in the third quarter last Sunday in Charlotte and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leading the Carolina Panthers, 16-15, rookie wide receiver Chris Godwin ran a deep route down the middle of the field and Jameis Winston heaved the ball in his direction. The play was well-defended and it fell incomplete.

And that's the kind of random thing that gets Freddie Martino his opportunities.

As often happens with receivers who run deep routes but don't come up with the ball, Godwin jogged from his spot at the end of the play to the Bucs' sideline, rather than sprinting back to the huddle for the next play.
