Mike Evans spent time confirming today that his signing with the 49ers was all about football.
Evans met with San Francisco bay area media for the first time and wasn’t talking about how he has long lost cousins in San Jose or property in Mill Valley, or a courtside seats for Warriors games, or a desire to live near Tom Brady’s childhood home.
No, Evans was talking about how he thinks he’s the missing piece for a 49ers team that’s only one piece away from the Super Bowl. Evans talked about how George Kittle was a big reason he signed and Kittle was a key recruiter of him. Also, Evans talked about how the football is better 3,000 miles from One Buc Palace.
> “It was always going to be hard to leave Tampa,” Evans said, per Matt Lively of CBS Sports in the other Bay area. “… Football-wise this was the best spot for me for sure. I’ve always appreciated how the Niners went about their business on the football field.”
Joe is too nauseous to type more. Mike wanted out — badly. Joe will have more on that element later.
