Buccaneers WR Mike Evans Makes History After Pro Bowl Games Announcement

Few receivers have reached the career milestones that Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans has in his 11-year career.

Despite some injury setbacks throughout the 2025 season, Evans made himself an impactful piece in his team's push to retain the NFC South title for a fourth straight season.

That culminated with him reaching the 1,000-yard mark for an 11th straight season, a feat only Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice accomplished.

Now, Evans will add another accolade to his illustrious resumé.

The Bucs announced Monday that Evans has been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, making for his sixth selection to the Pro Bowl in his career. That mark puts him in a tie for third most in Tampa Bay's history with Mike Alstott. Only Derrick Brooks (11) and Warren Sapp (seven) have more selections.

Evans will replace Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb who will be unable to participate due to his shoulder injury. This will be Evans' fourth appearance in the last four seasons and his second straight.

He proved an integral part of the Bucs' attack once again, contributing to Baker Mayfield's best individual season and the team's top-five passing offense.

The Bucs' all-time leading receiver played in 14 games this season, his fewest since he played in 13 during the 2019 season. He caught 74 passes for 1,004 yards while scoring 11 touchdowns.

Evans will join teammates Vita Vea and Tristan Wirfs at the Pro Bowl Games in Orlando that are set to begin Thursday and end on Sunday with the NFC vs. AFC flag football matchup. The games will be broadcast on ESPN.
