Mike Evans and New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore have some history of fisticuffs.
But maybe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver had a different reason for jumping in to a fight that broke out in the fourth quarter of the Bucs’ Week 2 win.
Lattimore dismissively waved his hand at Tom Brady, and Leonard Fournette started defending his QB … and then Evans went in HARD on Lattimore and hit him hard, which led to ejections.
So what did Evans tell the referees about his role in it? Some lip-readers on Twitter think they found the answer, and it’s pretty funny:
What did he say?
Is it … “That’s Tom Brady, what you want me to do?!”
LOL!
MIKE EVANS SAID “THAT’S TOM BRADY, WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO”
