Who’s the best player under 25? ESPN’s Mike Sando wanted to answer this question and did what he did: spoke to some “NFL talent evaluators”, and compiled their opinions into a ranking. That ranking has Mike Evans at number eleven, and no other Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the top 25.
Evans ranks among the NFL's all-time top 10 in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns before age 25. He will not turn 25 until the offseason, putting him in position to climb well within the top five in those categories. Evans' statistical production has slumped this season, and might not fully recover given quarterback Jameis Winston's injury situation.
