The NFL has seen thousands of wide receivers cycle through the league. Within those thousands, we have witnessed some of the best players in league history eventually being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
However, only four receivers had 100 touchdown receptions before Monday night in their first 11 seasons. Five minutes into the first quarter against the Ravens, former Aggies star wide receiver Mike Evans became the fifth after catching a 25-yard touchdown pass from Tampa Bay QB Baker Mayfield.
The Texas A&M Hall of Famer is also the only active WR with 100 receiving touchdowns and the youngest to reach this milestone in NFL history. His 101 career touchdowns put him 23rd on the All-Time list, with Derrick Henry, at 103, being the only active player above him.

Regrettably, Mike Evans had to leave the game after aggravating a lingering hamstring injury. This setback might keep him out for a few weeks. We extend our heartfelt wishes for Evans’s swift recovery and a triumphant end to the season.
