Mike Evans has been one of the most consistent receivers in the NFL since being drafted by the Bucks in 2014. In his ninth straight season he achieved more than 1,000 receiving yards, Evans became the first wideout in NFL history to achieve the feat. He has averaged nine touchdowns in a season and holds his season record for singles with 14 Bucks, which he set in 2021.
Evan’s production has been outstanding for the team, and as he enters the final year of his contract, it’s time to talk about why the Bucks organization should make him one of the longest-serving players in franchise history. There are many examples on the field. But his work off the field and in the community is another reason Evans is so well respected in the Tampa Bay area.
