TAMPA BAY, Fla. — The connection between Tom Brady and Mike Evans was easy to see in any game during their three years together in Tampa, but what Evans didn't expect going in was the bond they would develop off the field. "It's crazy that we had the relationship that we did," the five-time Pro Bowl receiver told FOX Sports on Wednesday after practice. "We were way closer than I expected us to be.

He still keeps in touch, even though he's one of the biggest stars in the world. He's just a down-to-earth guy. Just seeing who he is outside of football.

I got to know his family, his kids." Brady retired after the 2022 season, and Sunday marks his return to Tampa. As FOX Sports' Lead NFL Analyst, he'll call the Bucs' home game against the Eagles along with Kevin Burkhardt, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi.

Bucs fans will no doubt love to see Brady back, and he'll be happy to see his old teammates, especially his former WR1. When Brady named his 3 Stars of Week 1 and included Tampa quarterback Baker Mayfield, he referred to Evans as "my boy" in the announcement.
