99 of his career touchdowns have occurred through the air, with one resulting from a fumble recovery during the 2018 season. Evans became the 26th player in NFL history to reach 100 scores, per Scott Smith of the team’s official website.
He also surpassed Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin for the No. 30 spot on the league’s all-time receiving yards list.
Fans were amazed after he reached 100 touchdowns.
