The player also pointed out how Evans manages to cross 1,000 yards every year without fail. Slay said, “If he continues to keep playing, he’ll break a lot of great receivers’ records. Right now, he’s probably at 10,000 in 10 years. That’s crazy.” Slay added that he’s quite impressed with all the skills the player possesses including being a deep threat, a good catch, and many more.
He also mentioned that Evans is frequently overlooked as one of the top players, a situation he understands well from his time in Detroit.
