Evans and Jackson: Most Dynamic Duo?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former Washington wide receiver DeSean Jackson in the first blush of free agency last Thursday, finding the very "explosive-play" producer for which they had publicly pined. Jackson led the NFL in yards per catch in 2016 (his third time doing so) and has more 50+-yard receptions over the last nine years than any player in the league. In a vacuum, that would be a valuable addition to any offense.

But Jackson is not stepping into a vacuum. He'll be teaming up with Pro Bowl wideout Mike Evans, the 23-year-old star who is one of just five players in NFL history to open his career with three straight 1,000-yard seasons.
