NFL Trade Rumors
Hall of Fame WR Jerry Rice has held the record for most consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons since 1996, but told Buccaneers WR Mike Evans that he is pulling for him to break his record.
“Being able to sit down and talk to the greatest receiver ever was pretty humbling,” Evans reflected, via Jenna Laine of ESPN. “The things he had to say about me — it was a great moment for me. … That’s another thing that was humbling about it — how he [received] me. He showed me love, so that was really cool.”
“You perfected just route running in general,” Evans told Rice. “But the post-corner is to me your best route, and I’ve learned how to run that route because of you. You got to be able to sell routes. You got to make the opponent believe your first cut is really where you’re going to get the ball.”
Evans was asked about the possibility of retiring at the end of this season.
“I honestly haven’t even thought about [the future],” Evans replied. “I just thought about having a great year this year, and we’ll see what happens.”
