Mike Evans posted some new ink on Thursday that shows off the Buccaneers receiver's love of everything magical.
Evans, entering his ninth season in the NFL, had a picture of the titular Harry Potter as well as Hermione Granger on his calf. Here's the picture of the tattoo, courtesy of the Buccaneers:

Per a report from TMZ.com, Evans captioned the photo with a quote from the sixth movie in the series, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Quoted Evans: "Hermione — 'She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the chosen one,'" Evans wrote. "HP — 'But I am the chosen one.'"
That quote is not in the book, however, just an added line inserted into the movie.
Nevertheless, leave it to Evans to find a way to marry his love of Harry Potter and hype himself up at the same time. Of course, Evans' Harry Potter fandom isn't exactly breaking news. He has been an outspoken "Potterhead" for some time,
He even had a HP themed groom's cake for his wedding in 2016.

More recently, Evans called the Harry Potter movie series "the greatest film franchise of all time." This isn't even Evans' first Harry Potter tattoo: As seen on his Instagram account, Evans has a tattoo of the Deathly Hallows on his right elbow:

Among the tattoos the receiver has includes a self portrait, a lion, script reading 'Mackenzie' after his daughter, 'Galveston' for his hometown, 'Heather' for his mother, his logo 'M1K3', "2014 1st RD. 7th PICK”, the Texas A&M logo, an image of Muhammad Ali, as well as Mickey Mouse. There are, of course, many more. Check 'em out!
A very cool moment for Bucs and Harry Potter fans alike. And Daniel Radcliffe.
