Mike Evans, who is in his eighth season, could retire tomorrow and be ecstatic about his performance. The Texas A&M product has always been an above-average wideout. Evans, a 6-foot-5 target, has more than 1,000 receiving yards in each of his eight seasons; his current career high is 1,524 yards in 2018. The four-time Pro Bowler is regarded as one of the league’s top red zone threats. Evans excels at meeting the ball at its highest point, as well as taking advantage of his great stature. Evans has 75 touchdowns as a result, including 27 in two seasons with Tom Brady at the head of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans, who will be 29 when the season begins in 2022, has plenty of time to climb the ranks.
