It took Mike Evans less than five minutes into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Week 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens for Baker Mayfield and Evans to make a 25-yard touchdown catch.

Evans has already moved into the top 30 all-time receiving yards in Week 5, climbing another all-time ranking as Evans reaches the century mark with 100 career receiving touchdowns and now joins Hall of Famers Steve Largent and Tim Brown is tied for the ninth-most points in NFL history. Evans is the one only Active player with 100 touchdown catches in his career.

The next hurdle is TE Tony Gonzalez – look, another Hall of Famer – who has 111 career touchdowns. While Jerry Rice's 197 touchdowns are probably among the records that can never be broken, Evan will be moving toward the top five all-time over the next few seasons.

4. Cris Carter (Hall of Fame) – 130 touchdowns

5. Marvin Harrison (Hall of Fame) – 128 touchdowns

6. Larry Fitzgerald – 121 touchdowns

7. Antonio Gates – 116 touchdowns

8. Tony Gonzalez (Hall of Fame) -111 touchdowns

As Evans climbs the receiving mountain, he will be surrounded by more Hall of Fame players, whether already inducted or yet to be inducted, such as WR Larry Fitzgerald and TE Antonio Gates.

Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison are the only four players in NFL history to reach 100 touchdowns faster than Evans, the 18th receiver in history to surpass 12,000 yards with a single team.
