Aggies In The NFL: Mike Evans Breaks Record
We are now through Week 11 in the NFL and the playoff picture is still just as blurry as it was at the beginning of the season.
Former Texas A&M standout wide receiver Mike Evans is doing his best to make sure the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get back in the tournament, as he is now in sole possession of the Tampa Bay record for career touchdowns with 72, breaking a tie he held with former running back Mike Alstott. Evans is also tied for the NFL lead for this season with 10 touchdown catches.
Evans finished the game with six catches for 70 yards and one carry for 10 yards.
There are currently more than 30 former Aggies players either on active rosters in the NFL or on practice squads this year. Let's see how some performed for their respective clubs in Week 11:
DE Myles Garrett - The Cleveland Browns defensive standout did not record a sack in Week 11, just the second week he failed to do so, but he still leads the league with 13 on the season. He did register three tackles, one for a loss, and two quarterback hits in the Browns' 13-10 win over Detroit.
WR Christian Kirk - The Arizona Cardinals' second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft caught two passes on five targets for 25 yards in the Cardinals' 23-13 win over the division rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

DL Kingsley Keke - After missing the last two games in concussion protocol, Keke registered two solo tackles in the 34-31 loss to the Vikings.
