In a remarkable achievement, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has tied the legendary Jerry Rice by recording his 11th consecutive season with at least 1,000 receiving yards. This milestone was reached in the Buccaneers’ recent matchup against the Carolina Panthers, where Evans totaled 114 receiving yards on just six receptions and scored two touchdowns. After the game, Evans expressed immense pride in his accomplishment, stating, “To tie a guy like Jerry Rice, it’s incredible. I mean, he’s the GOAT, so to be in that conversation is a huge honor.” Buccaneers’ quarterback Baker Mayfield praised Evans as well, noting, “He’s a guy that, when you’re in the moment, you want to get him the ball because you trust him to make a play.” With the playoffs looming and the Buccaneers fighting for a position, not only is Evans focused on team success, but he is also eyeing an opportunity to surpass Rice’s record. This season, Evans has accumulated 1,035 yards to date, continuing to solidify his place in NFL history. Should the Buccaneers secure a playoff spot, Evans will have the chance to achieve this record while contributing to the team’s postseason ambitions.
