A question was posed just a few days ago, asking if Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was a first ballot Hall of Famer. That led to some number crunching, debating, and conversations regarding the star wideout.
There’s things Mike Evans has done that no other receiver in the history of the game has. We all know about the seven consecutive seasons to begin a career with 1,000 or more receiving yards - something his idol Randy Moss never accomplished. However there is more to this conversation than just that.
In the history of the NFL - or Pro Football - there have been just seven wide receivers inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
