Last season the Buccaneers’ took the field with a projected great crop of receivers. Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson highlighted that group, and even brought up discussions as one of the best tandems in the league.
Unfortunately V-Jax’s season was plagued with injuries, their slot receiver in Louis Murphy tore his ACL, and their rookie fourth round draft pick Kenny Bell was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. That left the workload strictly focused on Evans. Evans was not alone though with his supporting cast of the undrafted free agents Donteea Dye, Adam Humphries and special-teams ace Russell Shepard.
