In a recent interview, the Texas native revealed his intentions on how he prefers to depart from the field.

Interestingly, Mike Evans is the only player in NFL history to complete 1000+ yards in all the seasons he has played in. Recently, while speaking to Ari Alexander of KPRC, the Texas alumnus mentioned his willingness to enter the elite list of wide receivers that have ever played the sport. “Yeah, of course,” Evans said on the show.

“I think about it, but obviously I try to stay in the moment as much as possible. But that’s what I’m working for, why not? I’m trying to be the best in the game right now, and ultimately one of the best to ever play.” he added to his speech.

After getting drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft, Mike Evans registered his career-high touchdowns in 2020.
