The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to climb back atop the NFL mountain and win their second Super Bowl in the last three years. In order for the Bucs to do that, they will likely need to win the NFC South. That division is projected to be a two-team race between the Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints.
After practice Wednesday, Tampa Bay Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans addressed the media. Toward the end of the session, he was asked his thoughts on the Saints. Evans gave a very candid answer.

"We don't like the #Saints."

“We don't like the Saints,” Evans said. He also talked about how he liked the competition they provide. But he did not like that New Orleans beat them both times last season and he hopes they can return the favor this year.
Mike Evans has proven himself to be an elite receiver. His number project him to one day be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, the Saints' Marshon Lattimore has been the one guy who has given him problems throughout his career. It's entirely possible he has a bit more angst toward the Saints because of that.
The Buccaneers are considered to be one of the favorites to come out of the NFC. Whereas, the Saints are a bit of a wild card. New Orleans will be starting Jameis Winston at quarterback. You never really know what you will get from him. But one thing is for sure, when the Buccaneers and Saints face off, it's sure to be a battle.
