Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans made history in 2019, becoming just the second player in NFL history, after Hall of Famer Randy Moss, to begin his career with six-straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
Evans finished last year with 67 receptions for 1,157 yards and eight touchdowns in just 13 games before being sidelined by a hamstring injury suffered in Week 14’s win over the Indianapolis Colts.
But, Evans isn’t just a pro gamer on the football field, he’s also one off of it, too… sort of. Evans is a big-time Fortnite player, even competing recently in a tournament, looking to win money for a charity of his choosing.
Today, Evans took to his Instagram story to post a picture from Fortnite with his “squad” of Bucs players on screen, including quarterback Jameis Winston (@jaboowins3), wide receiver Chris Godwin (@chrisgodwin) and wide receiver Justin Watson (@jwat).
Take a look.
I honestly love seeing teammates goofing around and being buddies off the field. It makes them seem more real and makes you believe in the chemistry of the team. Can you imagine Antonio Brown ever posting something like this when he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially if Ben Roethlisberger was coming off a 30-interception season?
I think not.
