Mike Evans earned a reputation as one of the NFL’s toughest pass catchers in recent years, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver recording at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 10 professional seasons. One of Evans’ former teammates has a theory to explain the star receiver’s longevity.
New Orleans Saints quarterback and former Tampa Bay signal-caller Jameis Winston offered quite the unique perspective on Evans’ run of excellence during a recent appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast. Winston pointed to Evans’ upbringing in Galveston, noting how the island town brings out a little toughness in all of its residents.
