Evans signed with San Francisco for less money than what the open market offered, the main sticking point was playing in a Kyle Shanahan offense with Brock Purdy. One of the highlights of the practice was Purdy connecting with Evans on a long gain with CB Deommodore Lenoir in coverage.

Evans signed with San Francisco for less money than open market offers, with the main draw being playing in Kyle Shanahan's offense with Brock Purdy. On day one of training camp, Evans connected with Purdy on a long gain against CB Deommodore Lenoir, demonstrating strong rapport. Evans' skill set blends well with Purdy's, and he is positioned as the anchor of the receiving group heading into Week 1 in Australia; teammates have praised him as "unguardable," fueling optimism around the 49ers' 2026 offense.
