His praise signals confidence in the veteran receiver’s fit as a leader in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

Overview

  • McCaffrey, speaking to NFL Network on Tuesday, called Evans a first-ballot Hall of Famer and said he was "so fired up" about the signing.
  • Evans joined San Francisco in March on a three-year deal, with outlets reporting different totals of $60.4 million and $42.5 million.
