Mike Evans Aiming For Jerry Rice's Record
1 year agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has an NFL-record nine straight seasons with 1,000 receiving yards to begin his career. But he's not satisfied with that and has his sights set on Jerry Rice's mark of 11 straight such seasons in general. Rice also holds the record for most 1,000-yard seasons overall with 14. Evans is currently in a five-way tie for third-most 1,000-yard campaigns in a career, and he can pass Randy Moss (10) for second-most overall and tie Rice's record of consecutive such seasons if he keeps his streak going the next two years. The 29-year-old has never led the league in receiving in a single season, but he has 10,425 yards before turning 30. Many folks are going to be skeptical that Evans can keep it going without Tom Brady in 2023, but remember that five seasons of his 1,000-yard streak came with Jameis Winston under center.
