The Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said, “If you have a problem, you go talk to Mike. Mike will find you if he thinks you have a problem. He’s like the big brother in the locker room, too. He sets an unbelievable example for the youth.” Mike Evans is an ideal role model for young children and his teammates. The head coach defined his role in the locker room as the big brother who takes care of everybody. 

Evans giving back to the community

The Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award is given out annually by the NFL. The player who does community service and gives back to his community receives the honor. We know Mike Evans for always giving back to the communities in Tampa and his hometown of Galveston, Texas. Mike Evans even has a foundation that supports students and families all year round called ‘The Mike Evans Family Foundation’. It raises money for victims of domestic crimes and buys Christmas gifts for the children. 

“It’s an honor to be recognized with the very best in the league for the impact that we make in our communities,” said Mike. “I’m blessed to play football for a living, but the true value of our work comes in how we uplift those in need of support. To be nominated three years in a row, it’s extremely humbling.” 

Mike Evans deserves the nomination for all the good deeds he does for the community.
