Women’s Day has just passed! But the impact of women in some NFL players’ lives is throughout. Be it Brittany and Randi for Patrick Mahomes; or Felicia Jones for Lamar Jackson; the women of many NFL players’ lives have been a constant support for the athletes. This time, it’s Mike Evans’ wife, Ashli Doston, who is in the spotlight.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Evans was set to hit the free market agent next week. He might have also got more money because of that. But wait! The WR’s wife played a key role in keeping him back, resulting in his Bucs’ extension.

Who is Mike Evans’ wife Ashli Doston?

Mike Evans has been married to Ashli Doston since 2016. They first met in 2013 while attending college in Texas, got engaged in 2014, and have since built a family after marriage with two daughters and a son. Doston runs a blog, sharing insights into her family, life, health, travel, and fashion.

Change in plans for Mike Evans?

Recently, Tampa Bay received positive news as star wide receiver Mike Evans chose to remain with the team, signing a new two-year contract. Despite potential opportunities for more money and a return to his hometown near Houston, Evans, who had never experienced free agency, decided to stay with the Bucs. Influenced by his wife, Ashli Doston, Evans opted for the chance to fulfill his dream of starting and finishing his career with the Buccaneers, finalizing a two-year, $41 million deal with the team. As per MLFootball, on their official X account, Evans’ wife convinced the athlete by saying, “‘We should stay in Tampa, babe,’ and Evans and his agent @DerykGilmore got a 2-year, 41 million dollar deal done.”

Talking about the deal and his wife, Evans said, “I don’t want to say I was waiting for my wife to speak up, but she just planted it. These things are just like day and night. You have to think about it….I mean, I wanted to be in Tampa, and they offered me great money. It wasn’t about the money. I just wanted to see everything as a whole, and if we were going to get Baker [Mayfield] back and things like that. But I know I can play with whoever is at quarterback. Obviously, I hope it’s Baker.”

At the age of 30, Evans became the first player ever “in NFL history to begin a career with 10 consecutive seasons with 1,000 yards receiving.” That is surely the reason the Bucs were intent on retaining him.
