Overview
- McCaffrey, who spoke on NFL Network on Wednesday, praised Evans as a first-ballot Hall of Famer and called him the perfect fit for San Francisco’s offense.
- Evans joined the 49ers in March on a three-year deal after 12 seasons with the Buccaneers, where he became a six-time Pro Bowler.
- McCaffrey highlighted Evans’ go-ball skill, physical blocking, and toughness, and said he looks forward to learning from him and picking his brain.
- Coverage across outlets says Evans gives Brock Purdy a true outside target and should ease McCaffrey’s workload after a 2025 season of 311 carries and 102 catches.
- Evans brings elite career production, including 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons to start his career, though he missed significant time in 2025 with a broken collarbone and a hamstring injury.
