The great Governor of Florida recognizes the great receiver of Tampa Bay.
On Friday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took to X to declare January 10, 2025, as “Mike Evans Day” across the state, celebrating Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver’s remarkable achievements and contributions.
Mike Evans is well-known for his consistent performance and has now secured his place in NFL history with 11 consecutive seasons surpassing 1,000 receiving yards, a feat that not only showcases his talent but also his dedication to greatness. DeSantis praised the future Hall of Famer for his on-field excellence and his significant off-field community service efforts.
“Today, Florida celebrates Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Bucs for his Hall of Fame-worthy achievements in football, making countless memories for fans across the Sunshine State and the entire country,” DeSantis stated on the social media platform. “We also recognize his commitment to helping others and giving back to the Tampa Bay community throughout his eleven seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”
The announcement was well-received, and rightfully so. This just proves the impact Evans has made on various levels since being drafted by the Bucs in the first round of the 2014 draft.
