49ers veteran says newly acquired Mike Evans is 'un-guardable'
· Yahoo Sports
Veteran wide receiver Mike Evans is already making an impact on the San Francisco 49ers offense, and the team's veterans are taking notice early on that Evans is the real deal.
49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk called Mike Evans “unguardable” during the offseason practices. 49ers tight end George Kittle agreed.

“One thing that I was talking to [quarterback Brock] Purdy about a couple of days ago was that this is our first veteran wide receiver since we had Emmanuel Sanders,” Kittle said recently on the New Heights podcast, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “Like, I had Deebo [Samuel]. I had Brandon Aiyuk. But they were both like years one through four—Deebo was like year five.
“But Mike Evans is a guy, like, just watching him and his savviness—you know the concept; you have coverage in the red zone; one guy has the corner; the other guy has the ‘now’ route underneath it—and the way he sets it up versus a defender with outside leverage and then just gets wide open, and I’m just like, ‘It’s so fun to watch."
With everything that has been going on this off-season with Brandon Aiyuk and his constant bashing of the team, it has to be a breath of fresh air to have a guy like Evans on their team who seems to fit into the team and their goals.
“Just so savvy,” Kittle said. “Catches everything; runs great routes; gives great effort. I’m all-in on Mike Evans.”
