In June 2026, Mike Evans has quickly become a standout in San Francisco 49ers practices. Tight end George Kittle and fullback Kyle Juszczyk praised Evans for exceeding high expectations, with Juszczyk noting that Evans has been nearly unguardable and a significant asset in the red zone. The veteran receiver joins the 49ers after an injury-plagued 2025 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he had previously amassed over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 11 seasons. Evans is expected to be a primary target for quarterback Brock Purdy among a talented group of offensive weapons.
