Buccaneers' Mike Evans Poised To Cement Hall of Fame Credentials

Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans has been a beacon for consistent, high-level production across his 11 years in the league, surpassing 1,000 yards in each season, tying the record with Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.

Evans, who likely is coming to the end of his storied career, could have one serious send-off if he is to retire at season's end (nothing reported, but his age might factor in).

Mike, if he surpasses 1,000 yards for the 12 straight year, would have the record outright, and as CBS Sports writes, Evans could see himself move up the all-time list in other categories as well.

"One of the highlights of the final week of the 2024 regular season came when Mike Evans topped 1,000 yards receiving on the final play of the game," CBS Sports writes. That kept his streak of 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons alive, and tied the record that is now co-owned between Evans and San Francisco 49ers great Jerry Rice. If Evans puts together another 1,000-yard campaign in 2025, he'll own the record outright, making it 12 straight years for the future Hall of Fame receiver.

"Evans also currently ranks ninth on the all-time receiving touchdowns list with 105 scores. If he were to find the end zone 11 times like he did in 2024, he'd move above Tony Gonzalez (111) on the all-time list and find himself in a tie with Antonio Gates (116)."
