Mike Evans patterns his game after the man known as ‘The Freak,’ so the next step for the Buccaneers wide receiver, was to work out with Randy Moss at some point.
Evans told the Bucs official website that Moss came to him with the offer to learn and train under one of the NFL’s all-time greats.
“After the Washington Redskins game last year I did an interview with FOX Sports, who he (Moss) worked for,” Evans said. “I told him that I watched a documentary on him before we played Washington and I did his touchdown celebration. He hit me up on Twitter, he followed me and I followed him back. A couple months later he hit me up again and I couldn’t say no, so I went up there and worked out with him for a week.”
“It was just me and him,” Evans said. “I was up for there in North Carolina for about a week at the end of March. There’s a lot of knowledge there, man.”
Evans said Moss looks like he can still put guys on a poster.
“He’s still just as explosive as he always was,” Evans said. “We were doing drills and I couldn’t catch him running around the cones. We were just talking about the league. He was just telling me stories that any fan would want to know about one of their favorite players. It was pretty much just his knowledge of the game and some stories of what he’s been through.”
“I think he’s the best to ever do it,” Evans said. “Working with him, I think it will take my game to the next level.”
Evans is likely to take a major step up, with Jameis Winston throwing to him.
