2024 Pre-Season Rank #18, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #35, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #58, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #73.  Peak 2020-24

How can so much production seem so quiet?  

Last year, Mike Evans broke 12,500 Yards and 100 Touchdowns, and in the first 11 seasons of his career, he has never failed to break the four-digit mark in Receiving Yards.  The only person to do that is Jerry Rice.

So, why is his career so unassuming?   In four of those seasons, Evans did not reach 1,100 Yards, and in two of them, he was less than 1,010.   Although Evans made the top ten in Touchdown Receptions six times, he has only reached the top ten in Receiving Yards twice, and has never been a First Team All-Pro.  Regardless, he is now a six-time Pro Bowl selection, with five in the last seven years. 

He enters 2025 healthy, the active Touchdown Reception leader (105), and if he gains 1,000 Yards again, he will have broken Jerry Rice’s record for most consecutive 1,000-Yard seasons.  When you break a record held by Rice, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will notice.
