Mike Evans is using Pro Bowl perks to satisfy his Harry Potter obsession

Mike Evans is a big man. At 6-5, 231 pounds, he’s one of the more athletically inclined and physically imposing receivers in the NFL. Yet, as large as he is, Evans is an even bigger kid at heart.

That was on full display at the Pro Bowl in Orlando where he was a favorite among young fans. That’s not the only reason he’s a kid on the inside, though. Evans is a huge fan of Harry Potter.

While many players probably weren’t thrilled with the Pro Bowl leaving Hawaii for Orlando, Evans wasn’t among them.

"I'm a big Harry Potter guy," Evans said, via ESPN. "My second-grade teacher, Ms. Jones, read us the book, and then the movie came out like a month after she read it to us, and after that, I just fell in love with it."
