Mike Evans camp reinforces NFL star’s bond with Galveston

The summer heat was sweltering, but when it comes to his continued support for and from his hometown, Galveston native and NFL standout Mike Evans describes it as a different — more loving — type of warmth.

“There are always so many familiar faces coming out to support, and I will always be appreciative to this city,” said Evans, who was back on the island Saturday to lead his annual free youth football camp. “That’s why I’ll always give back and why I’ll always be around.”
