How Mike Evans has put imprint all over Bucs’ franchise
It was 2014. He’d just become general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he knew his team needed a quarterback. “See, I just got hired. … I was kind of the lone ranger that year,” said Licht, who hadn’t gotten to know his scouts yet outside of meetings. “I would just lock myself in […]

ON A FINE spring Saturday about a decade ago, Derek Carr asked his friend and Fresno State teammate Davante Adams if he wanted to go whitewater rafting. Adams shrugged. Sure, why not?
