3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers named to 2019 Pro Bowl
By Cory Kinnan
Mike Evans has, yet again, made the Pro Bowl; this will be the former 2014 first round pick’s fourth appearance in the NFL’s all-star event for the Buccaneers. It is fair to say that he probably should have been to another Pro Bowl in his career as well, as he did not get the invite in his rookie season when he tallied over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns.
While he is hurt with his hamstring that he pulled on a 65 yard touchdown from Jameis Winston two weeks ago, it is unclear as to whether or not Evans will play in the Pro Bowl this season. Last season, Evans had so much fun, in fact, that he recorded an interception for the NFC team as well as he played a little cornerback.
This season, after starting out slow with a sickness, Evans has recorded 1,157 yards receiving and eight touchdowns from Winston on 67 catches. Evans is one of just two players in NFL history to record over 1,000 yards receiving in the first six seasons of their career, the other is Hall of Famer Randy Moss.
Evans has been a treasure for the Bucs since coming to the team in 2014, and they must hold onto him tightly.
