Matt Harmon on Mike Evans

Elite efficiency and evolving route usage make Evans a high-end producer

Mike Evans is performing at an elite level, ranking in the top five among full-time receivers in yards per route run (over 3.0) and first downs per route run (19.6%). Matt Harmon highlights his 78.7% success rate against press in 2024 and notes his route tree has shifted away from go-routes (down to 16.8%) toward more efficient hitches (15%), out routes (15%), and in-routes (16%). Despite lingering injury concerns limiting him to roughly 90% health, he remains a dominant force who creates a massive strike zone for Brock Purdy, making him an 'insane bargain' for the 49ers.
