Mike Evans is a wide receiver in the NFL who plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though his name does not come to mind as one of the leading receivers in today’s game, the fact of the matter is completely different. Evans has had quite possibly the best start to a career as any receiver yet.
Evans, who was born on August 21, 1993, in Galveston, Texas, set the NFL record for becoming the first wide receiver in league history to record 1,000 plus receiving yards in each of his first seven seasons in the NFL. To let this statement sink in, just take note of the fact that this is something not even legendary receivers such as Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, and Randy Moss have been able to do.
And it is this level of production that has seen the Buccaneers put their trust in him as they handed Evans another extension worth $41 million over the next two years prior to the 2024 NFL season starting.

The Bucs then faced the highly regarded Kansas City Chiefs for the right to hoist the Lombardi Trophy and playing in their backyard, the Bucs put on a display for the ages beating the Chiefs by a score of 31-9 and clinching victory in Super Bowl LV.
