Xavier Worthy uses simple math to explain why Mike Evans is on track to finish his career as the best receiver in NFL history

I mean, Worthy's point makes sense. But it's not just about 1,000-yard seasons for Evans. He has a Super Bowl ring on his résumé and his name already ranks up there with the all-time greats in several key receiving categories. *All numbers are from Pro Football Reference unless stated otherwise.

Right now Evans is currently 24th in total receiving yards over the course a career, but another 1,000-yard season will bump his past Torry Holt and a few others to where he'll rank 17th. From that point, a number between 20-300 receiving yards would move him up as high as 13th, passing names like Cris Carter, Julio Jones, and Anquan Boldin in the process. A 1,000-1,300-yard receiving season is certainly plausible for Evans in 2025, especially if Chris Godwin returns.

Evans is already ninth all-time in terms of receiving touchdowns, with 105. Seven more moves him past Tony Gonzalez for eighth and 12 more would move him past Antonio Gates for seventh. Both those numbers are feasible in 2025, as well, and 117 receiving touchdowns would put him just 12 away from moving into the top-5.

And lastly, Evans' 75.5 yards per game are just 0.1 yards shy from tying Jerry Rice for 12th-best of all-time. Of course, all of this is on top of his incredible streak of 11 consecutive seasons with 1,000 receiving yards that ties Rice's previous record, as well as being the only player to record said seasons in the first 11 years of their career.

It's all impressive enough, but the anchor to it all is the fact Evans had middling play, at best, at quarterback for most of his career. Before Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield, it was Jameis Winston that led the way for the vast majority of Evans' career. That's no disrespect to Winston, but it's clear he's backup-caliber, not starting material. A season before Winston, Evans caught passes from Josh McCown and Mike Glennon and still managed to log 1,051-yards and 12 touchdowns on 68 receptions.

Worthy is certainly onto something. If Evans keeps this pace for another 2-3 seasons, which is possible as long as he doesn't retire, then he will rank among the top-5 in several key receiving categories and will have the aforementioned ring plus multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro nods to his name.

That not only sounds like a Hall of Fame résumé, but a greatest-of-all-time résumé, as well.
