Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had himself another historic season. The franchise’s all-time leader in receiving yards had his sixth-straight 1,000-yard receiving season, which made him the only player in NFL history besides Randy Moss to start their career that way.
Evans played in just 13 games this past season before being sidelined with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts. He collected 67 receptions for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns, earning himself another Pro Bowl selection.
And, with the emergence of third-year receiver Chris Godwin, Evans could find himself putting up even bigger numbers in 2017. Tampa Bay, which hasn’t made the postseason since 2007, has their sights set on the playoffs in 2020 after a strong finish to last season.
As Evans prepares for another grueling offseason, he took some time to post the below video and caption on Instagram, thanking fans for the love and saying he feels blessed to do what he does.
