Mike Evans made Tampa Bay history in the Buccaneers‘ latest matchup. On the opening drive against the Eagles on September 29, Evans hauled in a touchdown reception, propelling him to the top of Tampa Bay’s all-time scoring leaderboard. His 2-yard touchdown brought his career total to 596 points, surpassing kicker Martin Gramatica’s previous record of 592.
More impressive than just climbing the Bucs‘ scoring ranks, Evans joins an elite group of NFL players. He’s now the third-position player in league history to lead his franchise in scoring, a feat only Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers and Emmitt Smith of the Dallas Cowboys have achieved, according to Bucs Wire.

The touchdown also boosted Evans’ standing on the NFL’s all-time touchdown list, moving him into 12th place with 97 career touchdowns. He could soon overtake Don Hutson, who sits at 11th with 99 touchdowns. As Evans continues his remarkable career, he’s inching ever closer to cementing his name among the NFL’s greatest.
