TAMPA — This is a very special Father’s Day for Chris Godwin. In January, the Bucs receiver and wife Mariah became first-time parents to son Ace. Nearly a year earlier, 10 days after the Bucs lost to the Lions in a division-round playoff game, Godwin’s father, Rod Christopher Godwin Sr., died of cancer.

Fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are used to seeing the number 14 and the name "Godwin" on the back of their star wide receiver's jersey as he trots into the end zone. That sight will look slightly different in 2025 and beyond.

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is making an addition to his jersey in 2025 and beyond to pay respect to the most important man he knew.
