The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a 4th Quarter comeback win over a division opponent in Atlanta yesterday and their rookie Wide Receiver predicted the future before it happened.

With the Bucs down 20-17 and driving for a go ahead TD or game tying field goal when the first round pick out of Ohio State decided to speak up in his first ever NFL game. 

“Right before he caught that last touchdown, he like called it,” Evans said of Egbuka. “He wanted a post route. He said, ‘I’m about to game one.’

“We were in the huddle and [Egbuka] said we need to run this certain play and I’m going to game [the cornerback],” Evans said. “And I was just like, ‘Maybe we do need to run it.’ And then literally he runs the post and touchdown, next play.” - via JoeBucsFan.com

But not only speaking up, he did what he said he was gonna do.

This rookie is special and I can't wait to watch him again next week!
