How many 1000-Yard Seasons Does Mike Evans Have?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver Mike Evans was the No. 7 player in the first round of one of the best NFL Drafts ever, and he's gradually played like it each year over his pro playing career (2014-2020). At 6'5 and 231lbs., Evans has employed his natural size to transform into one of the most elite receivers throughout the league. He has been in the NFL for ten years and is one of the best at what he does.
Action Highlights & Stats
Evans has since contractually been credited an illustrious and still-growing list of course records:
1,000-Yard Streak: Evans surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the tenth year to start his career with ten seasons of at least 1k. He also became the first player to do so and produced another record-like one in '23.
Charted Career Totals: As of the end of the 2023 season, he owns more than 11,680 receiving yards and at least earned over a pair of receptions (752) to go with no fewer than nine TD catches.
Buccaneers Franchise Records: Career receptions, career receiving yards, and touchdown receptions.
Evans' blend of size, speed, and route-runner proved lucrative for quarterbacks to target him, so he boasts 6-year stats that would take the right player multiple seasons to approach.

Key Success Factors
Wide Receiver Evans has caught passes from QBs Jameis Winston and Tom Brady, who have played a pivotal role in his success. That was largely thanks to Brady, who improved Evans further as a receiver during their time together.
Offensive Scheme: Tampa tends to run a downfield passing attack, which lets Evans use his speed and size advantage over almost any corner.
Healthy and Condition: Evans has stayed relatively healthy, allowing him to make the field in nearly every game annually, which is very important for accumulating yards.
Work Ethic: His relentless work in the weight room, among other places, has also kept him ahead of the competition and from becoming outdated.
The Importance of 1,000-Yard Seasons
Getting 1,000 Receiving Yards in a season is no small task. It is not only a sign of how skilled and reliable you are but also how crucially required you are by the team that regards its playbook on offense.
Impact on Evans' Career
The 1,000-yard seasons of Mike Evans boots his career greatly:
Legacy: This guy had a million consecutive yards receiving, so his name will find itself in the history books when talking about all-time great wide receivers with Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, etc.
Pro Bowl Selections: Evans regularly appears on Pro Bowl rosters and continues to establish himself as one of the better receivers in football.
Hall of Fame Nod: He will receive the jersey honor when he hangs 'em up, and with those ridiculous numbers and resultant records, Hall consideration is also in his future.
He now sets an amazing feat by joining one of the Hall-of-Famers in recording 10 or more seasons with his yardage totals being over a thousand, and this shows us receivers' ability to not only stay talented but also continue producing on Sunday. His career numbers and achievements place him among some of the best wideouts in NFL history, and this kind of continued performance speaks to his professionalism and commitment to the game.
And as long as Evans carries on his career in the fashion he has these first four seasons; there should be no reason he won't go down among one of the top pass-catchers ever. Given his skill set, experience in the league, and an offensive system that plays to his strength, aside from scheming big runs, it's easy to see Crowell eclipsing 1,000 yards a few more times.
