Mike Evans

PositiveRole0:01

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.

0:00And Tom Brady, who obviously played with
0:01Mike Evans, he talked about how Mike
0:04does this thing that he actually hates.
0:07I don't like when receivers on these
0:08in-cuts will take an outside release cuz
0:11you've got to work back inside. And this
0:13is so true. You see guys do this all the
0:15time, especially when they are in these
0:16condensed um offenses where they will
0:19take the outside release against a press
0:21corner, and then they really struggle to
0:24snap it back inside unless you're a
0:25freak show. Well, guess what? Mike Evans
0:28happens to be one of the best route
0:30runners in the NFL. Uh you know, he's a
0:32big receiver, but he is he's been above
0:3470% in some of like the best press
0:37seasons I've charted cuz he has such a
0:39good set of nuance release moves. He
0:41happens to be a great router. And yes,
0:43happens to be a complete freak of
0:46nature.
