Bucs WR Mike Evans is excited about his 12th season in the NFL and has no plans of slowing down, even as he’s entering a mentorship role.
“ I’m getting up there in experience, ” Evans said, via PFT. “ I’ve been [one of] the oldest or the most experienced Bucs for the past couple of seasons now since Tom left. I feel pretty great, though. I feel pretty great. As I’m getting older, I’m just focusing on what’s in front of me, and that’s this season. ”
Evans wants another 1,000 yard season for the fans as much as he does for himself.
“ That is what makes it even sweeter, that people want it as bad as I do. I appreciate them for that, ” Evans said.
Falcons RB Bijan Robinson enters the 2025 season after finishing No. 3 overall in rushing yards last season with 1,456 yards. Michael Penix said they are determined to make Robinson a “big factor” in their passing game as well.
“I’ve said it before — however we can, we’ve got to get him the ball,” Penix said, via ProFootballTalk. “He’s going to be a big factor in the pass game, run game, obviously. But he’s going to be a huge factor. He can do great things with a ball in his hand, and we’ve just got to make sure we put it in his hands. So, we’ll be doing a lot of that.”
Panthers HC Dave Canales said he’s encouraged by the overall progress rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan has made so far.
