Godwin Didn't Believe Evans 49ers Move

Chris Godwin, who has spent nine seasons with Mike Evans as his teammate, didn't initially believe reports that Evans was joining the 49ers in free agency. "Honestly, I didn't believe it," Godwin told reporters, citing the prevalence of unreliable information online.

Evans and Godwin are the top two receivers in Tampa Bay franchise history for catches, yards, and touchdowns. Despite their separation, Godwin called Evans his "brother" and wished him success in San Francisco, where Evans will have an opportunity to win his second Super Bowl. "Obviously it's going to be difficult that he's not here," Godwin acknowledged, noting the Buccaneers have other players ready to step up. afnews.co.za
