Mike Evans Scores First 49ers Touchdown Because Kyle Shanahan Needed Another Weapon
Ian Rapoport shared the video of Mike Evans' first TD as a 49er.
Seeing in a San Francisco 49ers uniform still feels like a Madden franchise mode glitch, but the results are already terrifyingly real.
Ian Rapoport just shared the clip of Evans hauling in his first touchdown for the Niners during their matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
For a decade in , Evans was the human equivalent of a guaranteed 1,000-yard season and a red-zone nightmare. Now, Kyle Shanahan gets to scheme him open. That is objectively unfair to the rest of the NFC.
The 49ers jumped out to an early 17-7 lead over the Rams, and plugging a massive, jump-ball specialist into an offense that already features Shanahan's play-calling is the kind of roster building that makes defensive coordinators update their LinkedIn profiles.
If you were holding an anytime touchdown ticket on the new guy, congratulations on the easiest cash of the week. Evans in the red zone is basically free money, and doing it in this system just feels like a cheat code.
As this game wraps up in Los Angeles, the rest of the league has to face a grim reality. The 49ers didn't just add a veteran receiver; they added a Hall of Fame-bound mismatch who is already finding the end zone.
