Everyone has been singing the San Francisco 49ers' praises after the signing of veteran receiver Mike Evans this offseason, including some of the team's players.
49ers star fullback Kyle Juszczyk is especially excited about the acquisition. He told NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan that Evans is a true No. 1 receiver that the 49ers can look at first.
“With the offense, obviously, you got to look to Mike Evans first,” Juszczyk said. “A true 1-on-1 winner on the outside, that has produced in the NFL for how long? I think that’s going to be a seamless transition. Just the right addition that we need.”
Juszczyk also noted that pairing the additions of Evans and fellow veteran wideout Christian Kirk will elevate the rest of the younger receiver room of Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing, as well as Demarcus Robinson.
“With the productivity that they’ve had and with the leadership those guys can bring, those additions aren’t just themselves, it’s about Ricky and Jay Cowing and Demarcus Robinson," Juszczyk said. "As a unit, I feel like those two can raise the whole group. Really excited about all that.”
The 49ers quietly have a solid group of pass catchers now after losing Kendrick Bourne, likely losing Jauan Jennings and probably being without Brandon Aiyuk. Evans, Pearsall, and Kirk all have quality NFL experience, with Cowing and Robinson serving as reserve players as well. With tight end George Kittle still recover from an Achilles injury, Jake Tonges should fill in nicely as well to round out the group, along with star running back Christian McCaffrey.
Adding Evans was a necessary move for the 49ers, and it's being lauded by the team's top stars.
