"A hamstring injury limited Evans to 14 games last season, and it took some extra effort in Week 18 to keep his string of 1,000-yard seasons alive. He tied a season high with 14 targets in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' regular-season finale, hauling in nine receptions for 89 yards -- putting him at 1,004 yards on the season and giving him his 11th straight 1,000-yard campaign, tying him with Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for the NFL record."
"Evans is the only player in league history to start a career with 11 straight 1,000-yards seasons (Rice's 11-year run started in his second season). If he gets to 12 years in a row, maybe he can start thinking about another Rice record: 14 career 1,000-yard seasons. Will he or won't he? He will. With the aggressive throwing mentality of quarterback Baker Mayfield, Evans will remain a vertical stretch option in the Bucs' pass game,"
Mike Evans has 11 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start his career and needs one more to surpass Jerry Rice with 12 straight campaigns. A hamstring injury limited Evans to 14 games last season, yet he reached 1,004 yards after a nine-catch, 89-yard Week 18 performance. Baker Mayfield's aggressive passing profile projects Evans as the Buccaneers' primary vertical and intermediate target to begin the season. Chris Godwin's delayed return and Jalen McMillan's injured reserve status elevate Evans' role. Derrick Henry also has an opportunity to climb career rushing lists with another strong season. Multiple players enter 2025 positioned to reach historic milestones.
