Bucs’ Mike Evans Shows Respect To Troy Polamalu While Reminiscing About 2014 Game In Pittsburgh

Coming into the league back in 2014 as the Buccaneers’ first round draft choice, wide receiver Mike Evans has come a long way, including an incredible stretch of 1,000-yard seasons that currently sits at eight seasons. It doesn’t hurt that the past few seasons, he’s been hauling in passes from arguably the greatest quarterback to ever play in the ageless Tom Brady, but Evans distinctly remembers that first touchdown pass his rookie season from Mike Glennon, and he’ll be stepping onto that same field come Sunday, even if the naming rights have changed.

“Heinz Field was one of my favorite places that I’ve gotten to play, since I’ve been in the league, scored my first touchdown there, played against Troy Polamalu and James Harrison,” Evans said via the Official Tampa Bay Buccaneers YouTube Channel.
