LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan? Mike Evans Has a Final Verdict

Mike Evans picks the best wide receiver room in the NFL

Deciding the Jordan-James debate wasn’t the only question Evans faced from Murphy. He was also asked to name the best wide receiver room in the NFL.

Evans gave it a good thought before coming up with the Cincinnati Bengals. The AFC North franchise has two of the highest-paid receivers in football: Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase last year had the triple crown, leading the league in receptions (127), receiving yards (1708), and receiving touchdowns (17).

The veteran’s next choice was the Los Angeles Rams. Evans specifically mentioned the Rams’ third-year receiver, Puka Nacua, who has over 2470 yards from 184 receptions and 9 touchdowns in his first couple of years in the NFL. They also signed All-Pro wideout Davante Adams.

Next came the Miami Dolphins with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. “You gotta go, Cheetah,” Evans said.

The receiver room of AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith of the Philadelphia Eagles became his final pick instead of the Dallas Cowboys, who boast CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.

I’ma go Eagles. They won a Super Bowl. AJ and Devonta.

Evans added

But which of the receiving rooms is the best among them? The answer is none of the above because Evans picked his team as the number one.

I ain’t really worried about all these other receiver rooms… We [Bucs] number one.

Evans said with a grin

Aside from the 6x Pro Bowler, the Bucs boast the likes of All-Pro Chris Godwin, 2025’s 19th overall pick Emeka Egbuka, and former Oregon star Tez Johnson. The Bucs also have a dynamic running back core: Rachaad White and Bucky Irving.

The man under center for the Bucs is Baker Mayfield. Last year, Mayfield threw 4500 yards and 41 touchdowns.

The Bucs went 2-1 in the preseason and are preparing to play rivals, the Atlanta Falcons, on opening day of the new campaign.
