Chris Godwin was a terrible football player last year coming back from a very serious injury; he had no speed, his metrics were bad, and he was barely targeted. He ran a 5.5-second 40-yard dash, which is significantly slow for a wide receiver. The source cautions that multiple injuries can completely reshape who a player is moving forward, and Godwin's performance last year raises questions about whether he can return to being the player he was before his injuries. However, if Godwin comes back to being himself after his injury recovery, he could be one of the steals of the draft, representing significant upside at his current ADP.PositiveUsageNo date
