Joe’s glad to hear that rookie Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard seems to appreciate the amazing hand he’s been dealt at 34 years old.
He inherits an offense loaded with young veterans that just averaged 29.5 games last season. And he’s got a franchise quarterback.
He’s also got mending stud receiver Chris Godwin (ankle surgery). Godwin endorse Grizzard today at One Buc Palace.
> “There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s going to be incredibly successful because of the way that he approaches it,” Godwin said of Grizzard. “Like, every time I see Grizz, like I feel like I’m, ‘Have you gone home?’ Like he just loves ball and you can tell that he really, really puts his all into it. Those are the kind of guys you want to be around. Those are the kind of guys you want to work with.”
Joe keeps hearing that Grizzard is all business to the extreme. In fact, at Grizzard’s introductory news conference last month, it appeared that Grizzard had not family members, significant other or friends not working for the Bucs in attendance.
That was not typical.
At that time, Joe asked someone in the know who said that was no surprise, as Grizzard is all business.
As Dolphins head coach [Mike McDaniel told Joe](https://www.joebucsfan.com/2025/02/mike-mcdaniel-talks-josh-grizzard-preparation/) at the NFL Scouting Combine, Grizzard is a master of preparation.
