Chris Godwin is enjoying arguably the finest start to any season in Year 8 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers .

He's recorded three touchdowns in the first three games of the season -- already beating last year's total ( two ) from the regular season and postseason combined combined.

The Pro Bowl wide receiver's 27 catches through the first four games are tied with Amon-Ra St. Brown for third most in the NFL .

His father, Rod Christopher Godwin Sr. , died of cancer shortly after the Bucs ' season ended in the playoffs.

Chris Godwin accounted for 117 of Baker Mayfield's 189 passing yards and only passing touchdown in Week 2 win.

Godwin says he could tell something was "a little bit missing" in the past two seasons .

He credits strengthening his quadriceps and gluteal muscles to support the knee, but he also acknowledged, "It's just time".
