There have been quite a few great wide receivers in the NFL over the years but only a handful of them manage to go down in history as great. Mike Evans had begun the groundwork to be great since he took his first snap in the NFL.

In his 11th season in the NFL, Evans is in a class by himself as he has eclipsed 1,000 yards every year. Despite missing 4 games this season, Mike Evans is on track to have yet another 1,000-yard season. He has joined the company of Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison Sr., Chris Carter, and Davante Adams as the only receivers in NFL history to have six or more seasons with over 10 touchdowns.

Mike Evans is now under 100 yards away from reaching 1,000 yards this season despite sitting out a few games. The Buccaneers’ 48-14 dominant win over the Carolina Panthers helped Evans narrow down the deficit as he wound up with 97 yards and 2 touchdowns.
