How Mike Evans has put imprint all over Bucs' franchise

TAMPA, Fla. -- Jason Licht still remembers the first time he saw wide receiver Mike Evans.

It was 2014. He'd just become general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he knew his team needed a quarterback.

"See, I just got hired. ... I was kind of the lone ranger that year," said Licht, who hadn't gotten to know his scouts yet outside of meetings. "I would just lock myself in my office and just watch all the top players. I started doing the quarterbacks one by one."
