Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hints at a possible future in flag football after retirement, expressing interest in participating in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Mike Evans, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' star wide receiver, recently hinted at a potential future in flag football after his NFL career, expressing interest in participating in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Evans, who will be 35 years old by the time the Olympics roll around, acknowledged that retirement is likely on the horizon by then. 'This is good practice for me,' Evans told reporters, referring to his experience playing flag football .
'The Olympics, most likely I'll be retired by 2028... If I am retired, I would definitely like to play in the Olympics.' Despite his age, Evans continues to excel on the field. He has achieved an impressive feat by recording his 11th consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards, tying the legendary Jerry Rice for the longest streak in NFL history. This season, Evans has defied expectations by exceeding the 1,000-yard mark despite missing three games due to an injury. Evans' dedication to his craft and his ability to adapt to different offensive schemes are evident. The Buccaneers have undergone a coaching change, with Liam Coen departing for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Josh Grizzard taking over as offensive coordinator. However, Evans has proven his consistency and effectiveness regardless of the personnel around him. His primary focus remains on contributing to the Buccaneers' quest for another Super Bowl championship.
