Florida Gov. declares Jan. 10 as ‘Mike Evans Day’

Superstar wide receiver Mike Evans established himself as a Texas A&M legend during his time in College Station and has continued to build upon that legacy throughout his professional career in Tampa Bay.

After surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for the 11th consecutive regular season, Evans was recognized with an incredible honor from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis yesterday.

“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 via X. “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.

“This January 10th is officially Mike Evans Day in Florida!”

Last Sunday, Evans tied Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice as the only players in league history to accomplish the feat. The Buccaneers host the Washington Commanders in the Wild Card Round of the NFL Playoffs on Sunday night at 7 p.m. CT.
