Overview
- Evans, who confirmed Wednesday on Fred Warner's Real Ones podcast that he will wear No. 5, said it was his high school number.
- No. 13 is Brock Purdy's in San Francisco, so Evans chose 5, which most recently belonged to Demarcus Robinson and had shown up on Fanatics and jersey-tracking lists.
- The six-time Pro Bowler joined the 49ers in March on a multi-year, incentive-heavy contract, and he said the move was about fit, culture, and proving himself.
- His 2025 season was cut to eight games by a broken clavicle and a hamstring issue, when he posted 30 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns.
- Across 12 seasons he has 866 catches for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns, positioning him as a veteran outside target as he integrates into Kyle Shanahan's offense.
