Buccaneers' wide receiver Mike Evans is in rare air entering his 11th season in the NFL. He has cemented his place in history among the all-time greats at the position. Throughout his illustrious tenure, featuring a carousal of quarterbacks and a revolving door of offensive coordinators, Evans has never had a season in which he failed to surpass the coveted 1,000-yard mark.
Evans led the NFL with 13 touchdown receptions last season, in addition to ranking eighth in yards per reception (16.2) and 10th in receiving yards (1,233). The future Hall of Famer has surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in each of his 10 career seasons – the longest-such streak in NFL history to begin a player's career, and the second-longest streak overall, trailing only Jerry Rice's 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Evans' 10 total 1,000-yard receiving seasons tied Randy Moss (10) for the second-most in league history, trailing only Rice's 14. Through a player's first 10 career seasons, Evans is tied for fifth in touchdown receptions (94) and sixth in receiving yards (11,658). He is one of four players with 11,000-plus receiving yards and 90-plus touchdown receptions through 10 seasons, along with a trio of Hall of Famers in Marvin Harrison, Moss and Rice. Evans also became the first player in league history to amass 60-or-more receptions in each of his first 10 career seasons.
That is a career worthy of immortalization in Canton. For now, Evans is focused on passing Randy Moss for total 1,000-yard seasons accrued and eventually, Jerry Rice's mark of consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns. He is innately hardwired to compete and constantly seeks a new challenge.
"I am down on myself more than anybody else could be," stated Evans. "There is more for me to do in my career and there is more that I feel I need to do. I love to win, and I am chasing history."

Evans is on a quest to achieve the improbable. Year after year, through training camps and mandatory minicamps, his insatiable love of the game persists. Just like the kid fresh out of Texas A&M in 2014, Evans' hunger between the hashes usurps all else.
"It is a blessing always to start training camp healthy, and to be here and to just do what I love to do and live out my dream," said Evans. "Obviously, it is not easy, it is difficult, but I would rather be nowhere else but here. I have been seeing pictures of me at my first camp and I was 240 pounds and out of shape, but I was just this young and hungry kid. I still have that same hunger, I just got smarter."
Baker Mayfield earned the starting quarterback gig in Tampa Bay last season and Evans quickly developed chemistry with his new signal-caller. Their heightened synergy in 2024 was on full display Wednesday at the AdventHealth Training Center in Liam Coen's new offense. The pair connected on several plays, including a third-down dart. Mayfield threaded the needle and dropped the ball down the sideline to where only Evans, a jump-ball specialist, could get it. That play was a product of repetition breeding success.
Evans has climb-the-ladder skills and routinely boxes out defenders with his frame. His ability at securing back-shoulder fades is second to none, as is his ability to power through jams with physicality. With an uptick in motion and three-by-one sets in 2024 under the direction of Coen, Evans will be used interchangeably to take advantage of favorable matchups.
"It is a lot more movement [on offense] so the defense cannot just sit there and know what we are doing," noted Evans. "There will be a lot of movement and a lot of eye candy and that is going to help me, and our team a lot."
A new year begins for Evans, but the expectation remains the same: greatness.
