Matt Harmon on Mike Evans

Evans' elite press-coverage route-running (70%+) and release moves enable difficult in-cut execution.

Mike Evans is one of the best route runners in the NFL despite his size; he has been above 70% in some of the best press seasons charted, with exceptional nuance release moves that allow him to execute difficult outside-release-to-inside-cut routes that most receivers struggle with. Tom Brady noted Evans does this specific move that most quarterbacks dislike, but Evans' elite route-running ability and release technique make him a complete freak of nature who can execute these difficult progressions.
