Yahoo Sports NFL on Mike Evans
From the article
I love calling plays for Mike. We've watched Mike do that for his whole career. Mike is as good as any receiver who's played down there.
STACKED’s take
Evans immediately thriving in 49ers role; Shanahan loves calling plays for him
Evans has immediately established himself as a key target in the 49ers offense, converting three third downs on the opening drive and catching a red zone fade touchdown in a 27-7 win over the Buccaneers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated he 'love[s] calling plays for Mike,' noting Evans' career-long strength in third-down and red-zone situations translates seamlessly to San Francisco. Shanahan emphasized Evans' elite receiver pedigree—'as good as any receiver who's played down there'—and indicated the connection with Brock Purdy will strengthen despite limited training camp reps due to Evans missing time this summer. With De'Zhaun Stribling injured, Evans' role in Shanahan's offensive scheme is poised to expand.
