WR Mike Evans earns his respect from all across the league — even, as it would seem, from his enemies.
Saints DE Cam Jordan, a notorious trash talker when it comes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, took to Twitter to defend Evans from a fan who said they didn’t understand the hype behind him. Jordan came in the league three years before Evans and has thus played against him for his entire career.
“Anybody who think Mike Evans ain worth the hype must hate stats… or is a casual that never watches him. men lie women lie #’s don’t mike evans a 10k wr has produced 1k+ every season (sic),” Jordan wrote to the fan.
Evans has indeed never not had a 1,000-yard season, and his streak of nine in a row is greater than any other receiver to play. On top of that, he’s currently No. 2 among active players for touchdowns (not including QBs) with 82 across his career.
While Evans is more known for his rivalry with Saints CB Marshon Lattimore, Jordan and the Bucs also don’t get along. Jordan is known for his shots against Tampa Bay (like here, and here and also here), but it seems that even the consistency and stellar play of Evans deserves props. Whether or not he’ll be friendly when the two teams square off again for the first time on Oct. 1 remains to be seen, however.
