Mike Evans entered Hall of Fame company on MNF against the Ravens

The perpetually underrated career of Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is starting to get to a point where anyone arguing he does not deserve a gold jacket is simply being illogical. The 6-5 Texas A&M product's numbers are not equal to many Hall of Famers, but they outclass them inarguably.

Being as big as he is, Evans has a habit of being the team's primary target when they need a touchdown. He came into Tampa's Monday Night Football matchup against the Baltimore Ravens sitting on 99 career receiving scores. It didn't take very long for him to add that third digit to his all-time count.

On the first drive of the game, Evans found paydirt and gave the Buccaneers a 7-0 lead that would be quickly extended to 10-0 before Lamar Jackson answered with a touchdown of his own.

Evans became the 11th player in NFL history to catch 100 touchdowns in their career. With his next one, Evans will break a tie with two Hall of Famers in Steve Largent and Tim Brown, all the while claiming sole possession of the No. 9 spot on the all-time list. Up next on his climb to the top would be Tony Gonzalez at 111.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans moves up all-time list with 100th career touchdown reception.

Everyone with at least 90 career touchdown receptions is either in the Hall of Fame or will be when they are next eligible (Davante Adams, Antonio Gates, Rob Gronkowski, Larry Fitzgerald). Evans, still sharp as ever at age 31, has already passed up some of the greatest names in the history of football.

What do Fred Biletnikoff, Shannon Sharpe, Calvin Johnson, and Andre Johnson all have in common? Not only do they have far fewer touchdowns than Evans after he hit the century mark, but Johnson (83) is the only one within 20 of Evans' mark. This production simply can't be ignored.

As good as Baker Mayfield has been in Tampa Bay, Evans has put these numbers up with two years of Hall of Fame quarterback play and one above-average year from Tom Brady along with the wild inconsistency of Jameis Winston for most of his career. Imagine what his numbers would have been if he had more stability at quarterback.

The Brady years helped Evans finally get some of the shine he has long since deserved, and the success Mayfield has had in his two years with Tampa has kept the energy going. With Evans and Mayfield in lockstep, it's not unreasonable to imagine one of the greatest players in Bucs history climbing even further up the all-time list.
