This was definitely one of the most fun and interesting items of the day, especially considering the sauce. It has nothing to do with the out-of-control night in Las Vegas.
Bucs living legend receiver Mike Evans appeared on TexAgs Radio this week to talk a little about Bucs football. Yes, Evans admitted he was considering playing for the Houston Texans this season, who are based between his hometown of Galveston and his university's home base of College Station. was not reached. He said he felt the two-way love in Tampa and that's why he didn't actually become a free agent.
Evans was asked about the Bucs' quarterbacks, who are well known in Texas football circles, and said Baker Mayfield reminds him a lot of Johnny Manziel, aka Johnny Football, Evans' legendary quarterback at Texas A&M. Told.
Young readers may not know this, but Manziel, Cleveland's 15th pick in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft behind Evans, was one of the most infamous quarterbacks in NFL history.
“Hey, Baker, he really surprised me,” Evans began. “I hadn't seen him play, so I knew what he was like as a leader and as a teammate and that he was a really good player. He really surprised me. .
“He has a similar playing style to Johnny. I mean, it's really similar. So it was easy to adapt to playing with him. Shorter quarterback. Great athlete. Really tight, like a baseball player. He throws like a spiral. Really good hands. He can improvise and do all these things. Super tough. So I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do this year.”
Poor Johnny. He just couldn't stay sane.
Joe likes the on-field comparison between Baker and Johnny. It makes a lot of sense.
