Here in Tampa, we've known this story for a while now. I've run into Mike (and his wife) a few times over the years. They are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Plus all the work he does for the community? He's a HoF PERSON.
In 2020 one of my best friends passed away in a car accident. Evans was his favorite Buc of all time. One of our mutual friends wrote a letter to Mike Evans. Evans replied and sent a letter to the family with a signed ball. Not only does he do incredible work with his foundation he is incredible on a smaller more individual scale. It was easy to like him before but seeing his kindness on such a small intimate scale has made me a forever fan. Such an amazing human being
I’ve grown up watching the greats in Tampa history like Sapp, Brooks, Barber, and Lynch….but Mike is my favorite buccaneer of all time. The most humble future HOF player. Let’s go Mike hoping you get the 1k this year. You deserve to be written in NFL history.
As a Galveston County native, I love and appreciate Mike even more - what a story and bravo with this awesome video to tribute this man’s name and family.
Great Woman, stayed single after that. That's what eliminates extra BS..she was her children's hero and now Mike is her hero in turn. Love to see good prevail instead of tragedy being an excuse to get into even more darkness.
A truly heartwarming story of Mike Evans a great man on and off the field a man who gives back to his community add loves his fans. A future HOF love you Mike❤ GO BUCS🎉
God bless this man’s mother!! All them kids in braces, all them kids smiling. She crushed it. And passed it forward, this man was raised correctly and is raising his the same way. Well done. We love you Mike.
Falcons fan here. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for this young man. He’s been a thorn in our side for a long time, but I’ve always had a admiration for the way he plays the game. He’s much tougher to pull against now. Thanks for the video.
This won't be the year. Travis Kelce is in first place for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, and Mike Evans is in second place as we speak. I've been voting my butt off for Mike, but it's gonna be tough af to beat the "Swifties." M1kE most definitely deserves it though 💯
Bucs fan here: we *are spoiled and blessed to have been able to watch Michael Lynn Evans the 3rd do what he does best, both as a player, but even more as an incredible human. The ultimate professional.
Mike Evans is a beast. And I hope he never leaves Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And now that Bakers there and willing to get him the ball as much as possible. I think he will stay. I'm glad people like him find a good way out of the chaos. I went the opposite way unfortunately I turned to drugs. But have been clean for 4 years now. But I still struggle... Congrats Mike on making your dreams come true.
Wow - thanks for the knowledge about Mike Evans. The guy faced major trauma in his life but was able to endure and rise above - not the norm. Gotta love guys like Mike. Class act and a great football player!
M1K3 Tampa loves you. You will always be a legend. He donated money to my nephews school (Ben hill) and they used the money to fund after school programs. He’s my favorite buc of all time.
Without that childhood that he had he might not be the person that he is today we can overcome anything in life and he overcome and became a name that when you speak it people know who you're talking about Love you Mike Evans nothing can take the pain away of your childhood but remember without that childhood who would Mike Evans be Love you brother❤❤❤❤❤
Mike didn’t deserve that childhood. I’m glad he made it, I’m from Indiana and I’ve always enjoyed watching him play. Not controversial, professional, and a good teammate, he’ll be in the HOF one day
as a Tampa bay fan, Mike Evans deserves the world and it breaks my heart that in his only super bowl brady couldnt get him a touchdown. we should have force fed him one no one on that team deserved it more than him
Cowboys fan here. Never new this about Evans. Before TB came to the bucs we played him in 2016 and since then I became a fan. Evans God bless and HOF on the way . Hopefully you get one more ring. 👍💪
My absolute favorite player in the NFL😁😁💪 Role model to sooo many people including myself, Future hall of famer and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers LEGEND for ever. What a great dude. Bucs fans will cherish his career for ever once he decides to hang the cleats up. He got a lot more in the tank as well. I hope he reaches that 1K ! I believe in him 100%
Man I truly hope this channel gets recognized by someone who can elevate it to an insanely large audience. Your content along with your story telling abilities are awesome. Keep up the great work!
It's hard a good man like him. That's a man that went through some hard shit in his life. Wow, look at what he doing for young people now. What a great man Gotta love this man forever. You go Mike, love ya bro. GO BUCCANEERS
Best buc all time, never thought anyone would take over alstott, ronde, brooks or even David. But he did everything on an off the field to this team and area better.
I never heard Mike Evans story, but I can't help but have great respect for this young man; also in spite of his mother having him so young she was able to fight through such adversity and raise a great family, mad respect to his mom!!!
I hope he plays for another 5 years and breaks all of Jerry Rice's records because he could do it if he stayed in long enough because he's that good and his hard work and dedication is unmatched thank you Mike Evans it's been a wonderful pleasure to watch
Mike Evans is one of my favorite wide receivers of all time up there with Randy and Jerry. I never knew the story and I’m from Louisiana and not far from his hometown. This is a great story whoever published this and was speaking. You did a wonderful job this was perfect. I did not know this and this is how you overcome adversity. I freaking love this.
Feels like Mike Evan’s doesn’t get the respect that most ELITE receivers deserve. This guy and Godwin have been a menace in the NFL and to my fantasy leagues over the years 😂😂 I didn’t know much about his personal life, but it looks like he is an even better human being. Go Bucs! (After my MN Vikings of course 😉)
Along with Derrick Brooks, he is IMO, the standard bearer for the Buccaneers organization. Dominant player over time who is also exactly who you want your son to grow up and become. Whatever it takes to make him a Buc for life, the organization has to do it.
Living in Ireland, I've been blessed to find a path that allows me to watch this great game for over 40 years. During that time, I have seen many greats, my own team's Jerry Rice, but also Steve Largent, Roy Green, Moss, Megatron, you name it. The one I love and respect the most, is Mr Mike Evans
This man right here is a bonafide hero.. I am so happy for him.. Wow, this story is extremely touching.. OUTSTANDING STORY Another Sports Channel.. Well done.. He seems to be the upstanding silent hero with stats like that.. He took the humble route.. Ugh, he's one of my fav fa'sho.. But this, pushes that into to me, One Of The Silent Greats.. HOF! bet dat.. Man, inspiring...
THIS MAN NEEDS A MOVIE MADE ABOUT HIM!! as a bucs fan weve always embraced mike evans i still think hes one of the most underrated Wrs to ever play the game
And even though all that happened your daddy would still be proud of you and I bet your uncle is too because I can see that you loved them both takes a big man to stand in in Mike Evans shoes
Thx GOD for u my brutha!!!!! I was born in 1970 and im a lifer diehard buc fan! U have made me a true believer in my team!!!!! Keep up the great work Mike Evans u are THE MAN!!!!!! #BUCS4LIFE #MIKEEVANS1000 #THEGOAT
Another great video! I'm a chiefs fan, but having seen this makes me glad that he got a ring. Good work integrating slightly heavier subject matter too.
We want mike in kc. We are the miracle team that he deserves. What a awesome person to come that far from home. Not to mention I remember seeing him getting a award for being good to his community
mike evans has been my favorite receiver for years ... might not be the best but he's the most team 1st receiver in the league ... 1st ballot hall of fame for sure !! .. soo glad he got a superbowl championship !! mike evans and warren sapp my favorite bucs players !!
Here in Tampa, we've known this story for a while now. I've run into Mike (and his wife) a few times over the years. They are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Plus all the work he does for the community? He's a HoF PERSON.
you said it, PERSON!
Sure bud.
YUP, sadly ive never ran into Mike, but he does so much for the community that goes unseen.
Oh ok and I golf with Tom brady every weekend. Great guy.

Thank you for sharing, that's nice
No he didn’t
@@Droa065bro, why?
@ bc Mike didn’t do that he’s lying
@ so now you’re full of sh*t because you have no clue. Just speculation
He's a real man that just happens to be a legendary football player.
I’ve grown up watching the greats in Tampa history like Sapp, Brooks, Barber, and Lynch….but Mike is my favorite buccaneer of all time. The most humble future HOF player. Let’s go Mike hoping you get the 1k this year. You deserve to be written in NFL history.
Doug Williams??
Hes gonna get the 1k I believe in him
What about Warrick Dunn and mike alstott.
He got the 1k it was awesome
Too bad they weren't on the team at the same time
I’m glad Mike is the great man, player and father he is today.
Didn’t think I could like the guy any more than I do. I was wrong. I like him so much more now. Thanks for that!
As a Galveston County native, I love and appreciate Mike even more - what a story and bravo with this awesome video to tribute this man’s name and family.
What a brave man to share his painful road so others can be helped.
Mike Evans since day 1 in the NFL he's been a class act a true role model
Mike Evans’s story brings me to tears. He is such a good guy, and he deserves all the success. ❤
@Wildcat_Media...
Best comment ever!
Thank you for putting it into words for all of us❤
Rosalee S.
Mike is a massive part of tampa history and community. we love him to life!
Mike Evans the player is great, but Mike Evans the person is even better.
He loves the game, loves teamwork and hard work; but above all loves his family and providing a providing a good and stable life for them.
Great Woman, stayed single after that. That's what eliminates extra BS..she was her children's hero and now Mike is her hero in turn. Love to see good prevail instead of tragedy being an excuse to get into even more darkness.

Why has this man not won Walter Payton Man of the Year yet despite being nominated 5 times.
Couldn't agree more!...this year needs to be it!!!
This won't be the year. Travis Kelce is in first place for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, and Mike Evans is in second place as we speak. I've been voting my butt off for Mike, but it's gonna be tough af to beat the "Swifties." M1kE most definitely deserves it though 💯
Because it's ironically a popularity contest, per usual
It should be chosen by the NFL, not voted on by fans. No way he beats the Swifties this year unfortunately.
@@ReedLovesBiscuitswhy? swiftie Kelce's number is far away behind...Mike beats him in total rec yds and rec yds with less games he played😂
I’m a 49ers fan but have a lot of respect for Mike Evans! One of my favorite players!
Bucs fan here: we *are spoiled and blessed to have been able to watch Michael Lynn Evans the 3rd do what he does best, both as a player, but even more as an incredible human. The ultimate professional.
Underrated superstar
No he is not! He is great & has made his name!
@quintinfranklin9168 yeahhhhh daaaaa

Stay strong and positive. You can do it. You are doing it.
Wow - thanks for the knowledge about Mike Evans. The guy faced major trauma in his life but was able to endure and rise above - not the norm. Gotta love guys like Mike. Class act and a great football player!
M1K3
Tampa loves you. You will always be a legend. He donated money to my nephews school (Ben hill) and they used the money to fund after school programs. He’s my favorite buc of all time.
always knew that he was an upstanding, fine man. great video that made me appreciate him even more.

We love M1K3 in Tampa! HOF on and off the field!
Great person,glad to see his life turned out great
God bless 🙌
The consistency he's shown for over a decade is amazing. Should be a 1st ballot HOF.
Mike Evans is an incredible person and football player who sets the standard on how to live one's life!
Love Mike Evans💪🏽
Wow! God bless him and his family
As a Panthers fan I have always disliked the Bucs but respected a lot of their players. Mike Evans is surely a beast on and off the field.
Mike didn’t deserve that childhood. I’m glad he made it, I’m from Indiana and I’ve always enjoyed watching him play. Not controversial, professional, and a good teammate, he’ll be in the HOF one day
No kid deserves that childhood
Made me tear up and gave me chills😢🐐🙏🏻
as a Tampa bay fan, Mike Evans deserves the world and it breaks my heart that in his only super bowl brady couldnt get him a touchdown. we should have force fed him one no one on that team deserved it more than him
Yes, it's too bad that Evans didn't catch a TD in that game, but Tampa won the Super Bowl and that's all that matters.
Yeah that year Brady had AB and Gronk to throw to that’s why Evans didn’t get his
Awesome video! He was already my fav player in the league...this may make it all time
Cowboys fan here. Never new this about Evans. Before TB came to the bucs we played him in 2016 and since then I became a fan. Evans God bless and HOF on the way . Hopefully you get one more ring. 👍💪
SUPER UNDERATED, I say that as a Cardinals fan. He's a beast
My absolute favorite player in the NFL😁😁💪 Role model to sooo many people including myself, Future hall of famer and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers LEGEND for ever.
What a great dude. Bucs fans will cherish his career for ever once he decides to hang the cleats up. He got a lot more in the tank as well. I hope he reaches that 1K ! I believe in him 100%
Wow that's crazy so proud of you Mike major respect brother please stay safe and keep up the great work 💯💯👊👊
He is one of the most amazing people on this planet. Love this guy! Let's Gooooo
He will forever be my favorite player ever. The things he has done for Tampa Bay will never be forgotten, incredible player even better person.

Warwick Dunn? How you mention the bucks without him?? You sure you a bucs fan?
I never heard Mike Evans story, but I can't help but have great respect for this young man; also in spite of his mother having him so young she was able to fight through such adversity and raise a great family, mad respect to his mom!!!
I hope he plays for another 5 years and breaks all of Jerry Rice's records because he could do it if he stayed in long enough because he's that good and his hard work and dedication is unmatched thank you Mike Evans it's been a wonderful pleasure to watch

Seems like a Real man to me. Im from Texas... and well remember him at A&M. Stud.
Just became an Evan’s fan from this vid. Nice presentation
One of the most underrated players of the last 20 years
Wow 😢 born and raised in Tampa a huge Mike Evans fan I never knew his story tho 😢 just so sad about his father
I really hope we can get him his 1k yards this year. I know it's tough, but Bucs are tough and resilient
Baker is on a mission to make it happen!
No Cade this week is going to help. Mike is going to explode each game to end the season. No man deserves it more.
Even if he doesn’t get it, he has nothing else to prove. Homie is a first ballot.
Lattimore won’t be there to stop his overrated ass😔
@@dollar4dahlernah he wit ur bumass on a coucu
Mike is easily my favorite receiver of the 2010s. I loved Julio, Megatron, AB and all them as well but Evans was always my favorite
God bless you brother!!
Diehard Eagles fan here and we respect the hell out of Evans
Feels like Mike Evan’s doesn’t get the respect that most ELITE receivers deserve.

My greatest wide receiver EVER!!!! love you Mike (Mr 1st ballot HOF)
Sir, Bravo. Thank you for taking thy life to new heights!
You are easily my fav channel to you watch right now…

Every summer Galveston was our vacation place. I live about 30 min from college station. Mike and Johnny are kings to them
Beautiful story 13 🏈🏈🏈.
Tough times make strong men
In Tampa we love Mike and all the work he’s put in! We appreciate you my brother 💯🙏🏾
Living in Ireland, I've been blessed to find a path that allows me to watch this great game for over 40 years.
