That also tied the all-time record for consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons, with Jerry Rice.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries kept Evans from breaking the record in his twelfth and final season with the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joebucsfan.com\/2026\/06\/mike-evans-talks-personal-rejuvenation-1000-yard-season-disappointment\/#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">it was super disappointing<\/a>,\u201d Evans told reporters on Thursday, via JoeBucsFan.com. \u201cI\u2019m extremely competitive and for me to not break that record, I thought I was going to be able to break it easy \u2014 how hungry I was going into that season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Injuries limited him to eight games in 2025 and 382 receiving yards. He could, in theory, still catch or pass Rice\u2019s all-time record of 14 career 1,000-yard seasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, in life, some things, it\u2019s not going to go your way,\u201d Evans said. \u201cBut I look at that injury as a blessing in disguise, because I\u2019m feeling really fresh, feeling rejuvenated. I\u2019m in a new spot, new change like I felt I needed. And I\u2019m looking forward to get back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A first-round pick in 2014, Evans turns 33 in August. The question moving forward will be whether he can continue to perform at a high level, and ultimately for how long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 2024, 49ers receiver Mike Evans set a record in Tampa by becoming the first player with 11&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":686208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-686207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/686208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
