Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar wide receiver Mike Evans is a certified first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer.
The Texas A&M legend has racked up 10 consecutive seasons of at least 1,000 yards receiving to begin his professional career, which is an NFL record.
Entering Sunday’s game against the Chargers in Inglewood, Evans had totaled 590 yards with four regular season games left in 2024. Despite missing three matchups due to injury, he had averaged 59 yards per game through Week 14, forcing him to average 102.5 yards in each remaining contest to reach the benchmark again.
During a dominant 40-17 victory versus Los Angeles, Evans had a monster performance to chip away at the 1K mark. He recorded 9 catches for 159 yards and 2 touchdowns. Now, he needs 251 more yards (83.7 per game) over the final three contests.
