Mike Evans Speaks
May 8th, 2014
A relaxed and slightly nervous Mike Evans, the new Bucs manbeast wide receiver from Texas A&M, just talked to the local pen and mic club at One Buc Palace.
Here are a few highlights:
On Vincent Jackson and joining him on the Bucs: I’m excited. Ready to learn a lot from him. I wants to learn the finer points of route running.
On the emotion: I was trying not to cry. It’s a blessing.
On those who question his speed: I’ve never been caught from behind.
On Johnny Football: I thought he should have went No. 1, him being my best friend. (Evans then asked reporters, “Is he off the board?” Informed Johnny Football was available at No. 15, Evans shook his head.
In all, Evans was very humble and gave plenty of team-first answers.

Gonna be punishing defenders this season!!! Our Offense just went up a notch.

The fact he’s gonna learn from a true pro and one of the best in VJax is a wonderful thing. No doubt he’s gonna be right there for rookie of the year next year. And while Twin Towers is nice, hopefully Wright keeps coming along and we’ll have a “Big Three”

Trade up now and get your QB.

Everything I have read about Evans suggests he isn’t the typical diva WR. Have no fear, a Qb will drafted next, probably even tonight yet.

Buffalo has Stevie Johnson and Sammy Watkins, shows you what they think of Mike Williams as a #2.
Evans is a good pick, let’s hope he’s not like our last first round pick mr.”check is in the bank”.

THIS IS ME EATING CROW. I SAID THEY WOULD NOT PICK A WR IN ROUND ONE…EVER!

Yes with tim wright out there as well all we need on offense now is a speedster at slot with reliable hands. Defenses heads would be spinning. With all of that good play calling and a stout defense Josh McCown can get us to the playoffs

Now we just need a franchise QB.
No better than 8-8 til we have one.

So one thing we learned…don’t listen to Joe when it comes to QBs HAHAHAHA. So far 18 teams have passed on his man lover…and he wanted us to use our 7th on him LOL

Don’t be shocked to see Stevie Johnson in a uni other than Buffalo’s next season…

Wow, so you criticize Joe and then push Aaron Murray in the same breath. Thank God you aren’t our GM… and thank God you’re not a journalist either.
