Mike Evans names Nico as one of his favorite young WRs
At age 31 and entering his 12th NFL season, Evans continues to build on a Hall of Fame résumé. Last season, he passed 100 career touchdowns. So who better to ask about the next generation of wide receivers? At Bucs minicamp, Evans took some time to talk with FOX Sports about his favorite young receivers across the league.
EVANS: Wait, what does young mean?
FOX Sports: We'll say first four or five years in the league.
EVANS: Ja'Marr Chase. He's a guy where if you said he was better than me — I don't think anybody's better than me — but if you said him, I would understand. So Ja'Marr, Justin Jefferson, Nico Collins, Drake (London).
Nobody is going to argue with you on Jefferson. What do you like about Nico?
EVANS: He's kind of like a mix of me and Julio Jones. He's 6-4, 6-5, but he can run up and catch like Julio and he has muscles like Julio. He has the length like me. I love Nico's game.
