Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is another young wide receiver in the NFL with  a ton of upside. Evans managed to grab 64 passes from a below average quarterback in 2014 and eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark as well in his first NFL season. Evans averaged 15.5 yards per catch good enough for tops in the NFC South and will now have a much more capable quarterback to get him the ball as much as possible.

The Buccaneers spent their 2014 first round pick on Evans and spent their 2015 first round pick on quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston comes into the league with a ton of upside and has the ability to be a 4,000 yard plus passer a year for the Bucs. Evans will be a big part of that and should become Winston’s best friend throughout the year. It is a bright future offensively for Tampa Bay.
