It's difficult to compare Evans to other young receivers early in their careers, simply because it generally takes three years for receivers to get adjusted to the NFL. Most don't have success as early as Evans did.
But two other former first-round picks had similar stats to Evans (48-843-9) in their rookie seasons. The first caught 64 passes in his rookie campaign for 836 yards and 8 TD's, and followed it up with a slight improvement in his second season with 73 catches for 866 yards and 6 TD's.
The second receiver hauled in 52 catches in his rookie season for 788 yards and 6 scores, and exploded in his second year with 82 catches for 1,635 yards and 6 TD's.
And the names of those players? Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt. Guess those wouldn't be bad footsteps to follow.
can you imagine?
realistically, i think he and moulds both have about 1200.
