The debate about who’s the best wide receiver in the NFL is one we have on almost a yearly basis, and, for the most part, guys like Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr. and Antonio Brown often find themselves at the top of the list.

But, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans is perhaps the best receiver in the game today and one of its most underrated players. And, if you look at the stats, Evans is clearly a better player than OBJ, the new Browns receiver who will be in town tomorrow night for the team’s preseason game against the Bucs.

First, there’s the issue of health and durability. Beckham played five seasons with the New York Giants and only played a full 16 games once. He played in 12 or fewer games in three seasons, including 2017 when he played just four games before a fractured ankle cost him the season. Evans, meanwhile, who was part of the same 2014 draft class as Beckham, has missed just three games in his five years in the league.

As for the numbers, Evans has Beckham beat there, too. Evans has 395 receptions to Beckham’s 390, which at first glance would make you believe that Beckham is the better receiver since he has nearly as many receptions having played far fewer games. But the difference in those five receptions is over 600 yards. Evans has a career total of 6,103 receiving yards while Beckham has 5,476, and the Bucs wideout has a career average of 15.5 yards per reception to Beckham’s 14.0.

While there will be plenty of Beckham supporters arguing that he’s the better talent, Evans’ durability and production on the field speaks for itself. The fact that he plays in a smaller market than New York certainly hasn’t helped his national exposure — nor has the team’s losing ways — but keep in mind, too, that Evans has not once made headlines for being diva wide receiver.

So, next time we talk about the game’s best receiver, let’s make sure Evans finds his name at the top of the list where it belongs.
