The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are heading into a huge game, but Mike Evans is making it clear he’s not ready for the season – or maybe even his career – to end just yet.
The Buccaneers play the Panthers Saturday at 4:30 PM at Raymond James Stadium for the NFC South title. Evans’ 1,000-yard streak is over due to injury, but he’s focused on the playoffs. He’s unsure about his future with the team.
Evans shared that some Buccaneers fans’ interactions surprised him. He spoke about how they’ve been thanking him in a way that implied they thought his career was wrapping up.
“Some of them were just thanking me for all I’ve done and writing me off like I’m done after this one,” Evans stated, via FOX Sports’ Greg Auman. “We’ll see.”
The quote caused a stir. And not because Evans announced anything concrete, but because it echoed his usual approach: letting his play speak louder than speculation.
Mike Evans’ recent injury has made him realize how much he misses playing football when he’s not on the field, and that’s influencing his thoughts on retirement.
Evans’ competitive drive is a hallmark of his career. When questioned, he typically responds with strong performances, and at this point, he shows no signs of slowing down.
