Evans and Purdy's skill sets blend very well, and you can expect more long gains during the season. As the anchor of the receiving group, Evans needs to hit the ground running in Week 1 in Australia.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Evans-Purdy connection shines on day one; positioned as receiving anchor for 2026.

Evans connected with Brock Purdy on a long gain during day-one practice with CB Deommodore Lenoir in coverage, demonstrating strong rapport and skill-set compatibility in Kyle Shanahan's offense. Described as "unguardable" by teammates, Evans is positioned as the anchor of the receiving group and needs to hit the ground running in Week 1 in Australia; the first-day performance and teammate praise push hype for the 49ers offense in 2026 into overdrive.
