A new story told by general manager Jason Licht revealed that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were one draft-day trade away from missing out on the greatest offensive player in franchise history, Mike Evans.
The Buccaneers hosted a special event Tuesday to premiere the new 10-part Raise the Flags documentary in honor of the team’s 50th season. From Jon Gruden to Tom Brady, there was no shortage franchise legends on hand to celebrate the occasion.
Mike Evans was among the players in attendance, and Licht recalled the 2014 NFL Draft, his first as Buccaneers GM, and how it almost went very differently.
