Mike Evans Chases 11th 1,000-Yard Season

This Sunday, Mike Evans will be looking to tie the record of the greatest wide receiver of all time, Jerry Rice, with his No. 13 nfl jersey, rushing for 1,000 yards for the 11th consecutive season. It’s an extremely rare feat, but he’ll need to run for at least 85 yards.

In the ever-changing world of the NFL, few can perform as consistently as Evans. As a rookie, Evans rushed for 1,051 yards. In 2018, Evans peaked with 1,524 yards, also in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jerseys. This season, he missed three games after a hamstring injury, putting his stellar record in jeopardy, but a blowout last Sunday has him back on track.

Tampa Bay is currently looking to win its fourth consecutive division title, so they want to put the ball in the hands of the team’s best playmaker. It certainly helps that Evans is in the mix. With the New Orleans Saints' poor pass defense, that could allow Evans to make history.
