Buccaneers star and Aggies alumnus Mike Evans closing in on becoming 6th WR in elite group

For anyone who has watched Evans throughout his career with the Buccaneers, it’s clear that he is a first ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.

For anyone who has watched Mike Evans throughout his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it’s clear that he is a first ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.

The Texas A&M alumnus has surpassed at least 1,000 yards for 10 consecutive seasons. Now as Evans enters his 11th season in the NFL, he is already knocking on the door at entering a group of extremely elite wide outs.

With 1,320 yards receiving this year, Evans would become the sixth player in NFL history to rack up at least 13,000 yards receiving during his first 11 campaigns. The other five? Five Hall of Famers and someone who will be enshrined in Canton, Ohio within the next decade: Jerry Rice, Torrey Holt, Marvin Harrison Sr., Randy Moss and Julio Jones.

Considering that Evans has recorded over 1,320 yards receiving twice in his career and came very close on several occasions, the goal is more than in reach. For those who may say he’s “slowing down,” last season’s 1,255 yards receiving says otherwise.
