Jameis Winston, Mike Evans watching tons of Buccaneer tape this offseason
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver Mike Evans spent time together this offseason working on pass routes and breaking down film.
What It Means:
The work ethic of both Evans and Winston were called into question after Winston packed on pounds during his rookie year and Evans suffered through a sophomore slump, dropping an NFC-high 15 passes and managing only three touchdowns after scoring 12 as a rookie. Per ESPN's Britt McHenry, Evans and Winston "worked through countless routes and were together on and off the field". Not yet 23 years old, Evans is a strong bet for a bounce-back campaign.
Evans pulled in 148 targets from Winston last year, converting them in 0.69 Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target. This ranked 47th in the league among the 86 wide receivers with at least 50 targets last year. Winston ranked 15th in Passing NEP per drop back in 2015, among the 39 quarterbacks with at least 150 drop backs.
