Mike Evans sets Tampa Bay Buccaneers career record in only 5th season
It might seem like only yesterday Mike Evans was lining up at wide receiver for Texas A&M. The former Aggie, however, is now in his fifth NFL season at age 25.
Evans has been a reliable wideout for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So reliable, in fact, that in only four-plus seasons he has become the franchise record holder for receiving yards. With a 19-yard catch in the first quarter of the Tampa Bay-Atlanta game, Evans recorded receiving yard No. 5,005, making him the Bucs’ new all-time leader.
With that diving grab, @MikeEvans13_ is now the all-time leading receiver in franchise history! 👏#GoBucs | #TBvsATL pic.twitter.com/dSVUqEIyZK

As you can imagine, NFL fans are in disbelief that a 25-year-old holds the record for career receiving yards with a Super Bowl-winning franchise. Quite an accomplishment.
