Evans' age and recent injury history cloud potential in Shanahan's system despite Hall of Fame pedigree.

Hall of Famer joins 49ers under Kyle Shanahan after 11 consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and 105 TDs with Buccaneers. Now 33 years old with soft-tissue injury history over past two years; played only eight games last season with 30-368-3 receiving and 5.9 yards per target—significant decline from career norms. Key question: can Evans still separate and make contested catches at elite level? Makes 49ers debut Thursday night vs. Rams in Australia; 49ers may need big game from new receiver to compete with Super Bowl favorites.
