Mike Evans' star turn during his breakthrough season with Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year saw him emerge as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL.
Although Evans routinely dominated cornerbacks with his rare combination of size, athleticism and route-running skills and was named to his first Pro Bowl, the former Texas A&M star from Galveston dealt with a constant strategy of double-team coverage intended to curtail his impact. There simply wasn't a deep-threat presence opposite Evans to challenge defenses and divert defensive backs' attention.
Now, Evans will have the advantage of working in concert with veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson.
