As the highest drafted receiver for the Bills since Eric Moulds, Evans emerged as a dangerous deep threat for the team.

He still ranks among the top five receivers in Bills history in terms of receptions, yards, and touchdowns, despite never making the Pro Bowl.

In 2001, Evans put together an incredible season despite having three different quarterbacks (Brooks Bollinger, Jim Sorgi, and Matt Schabert) during the year.

Possibly his finest game as a Badger came in a 56–21 blowout of the Michigan State Spartans: Evans caught 10 passes for 258 yards and 5 touchdowns.

He became a big ally for then starting quarterback J. P. Losman in the passing game, establishing himself as a deep threat at wide receiver.

In the AFC Championship Game, a pass was thrown to Evans in the end zone that if caught, would have likely secured a trip to the Super Bowl for the Ravens.

The football hit Evans in the hands, but was knocked out by New England Patriots cornerback Sterling Moore.

Two plays later, Billy Cundiff missed a field goal that would have sent the game into overtime, and the Patriots won.
