Mike Evans

The final player on this list is as evident as the other options. Mike Evans has been the best offensive weapon for the Buccaneer offense during the 2010s, and the potential for his legacy is still extremely high.

Mike Evans has struggled so far this season with injuries, and the Buccaneer offense has been more subdued than usual, but Evans is still on pace to set an NFL record with the most 1,000-yard seasons to start a career. Any time a player competes with Randy Moss for a record is a good sign for a draft pick.

The Buccaneer offense was practically non-existent before Evans came on the scene. Evans played for numerous different quarterbacks of varying talent during his time in Tampa Bay, yet his production has remained the same. Despite any shortcomings on the rest of the offense, Mike Evans has consistently been one of the best wide receivers in the NFL through the years.

Even with other offensive legends on the roster, Mike Evans has the distinct possibility of finishing his career as the most outstanding offensive player in franchise history.

As another high first-round pick, Mike Evans’ success wasn’t a surprise for anyone, but his sustained level of play despite all of the distractions and injuries have shown a player that will leave a massive legacy.
