Stat Indicates Mike Evans Is A Hall Of Fame Lock
Mike Evans has been one of the NFL’s most dominant receivers over the past decade.
As a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his dominance has transcended the present day and has cemented himself among some of the greatest receivers to ever play the game.
Evans has now eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark in his first nine seasons in the NFL and finds himself in elite company.
He is tied with Oakland Raiders legend Tim Brown with nine such seasons, and trails just Jerry Rice in this feat, who accomplished 1,000 yards in 11 seasons.
Many have said that Evans has already carved out a place for himself in the NFL Hall of Fame.
At just 29 years old, depending on how many more seasons he decides to play in the NFL, he might even be able to pass Rice’s mark of 11 seasons with 1,000 receiving yards.
Besides this record of 1,000-yard seasons, Evans has a great opportunity to continue to climb the ladder of all-time receiving yard leaders.
He is currently 44th on the all-time list, but, if he can rack-up even 1,000 more yards in his career, Evans could vault up to 33rd on the list.
The possibilities are endless for Evans.
Being tied to Tom Brady for the last three seasons has certainly boosted his value to the team.
Will Brady return to the Buccaneers in 2023?
If he does, Evans will have a great opportunity to continue this streak.
If Brady decides to retire or leave the team, Evans may have to turn to a much, much worse option to throw him the ball.
