Mike Evans: Joining the 49ers, Tom Brady Stories, and Jerry Rice’s Record | EP10

In this episode of Real Ones: The League, presented by Experian, you will see: San Francisco 49ers All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner sits down with a true legend of the wide receiver position, Mike Evans. Fresh off a massive free agency signing that makes him the newest member of the 49ers, the Super Bowl 55 champion joins Fred to discuss joining "the good guys" and finishing his career strong in San Francisco. Mike opens up about the drive behind his historic NFL journey—from being a kid dreaming of the elite to matching Jerry Rice with 11 consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. He provides an exclusive look at his mindset for the 2026 season, detailing how he plans to use his "second wind" after a 2025 campaign that was limited by his first major injuries, including a broken collarbone. Evans also discusses his transition to jersey No. 5, a callback to his high school days, as he prepares to catch passes from Brock Purdy in Kyle Shanahan’s elite offense. The conversation takes a legendary turn as Mike shares "crazy" stories about his time with Tom Brady. He reveals the stark contrast between Brady’s soft-spoken nature and the fierce, "cussing and yelling" competitor that emerges when he's fired up on the field. Mike also reflects on his time at Texas A&M with Johnny Manziel, describing the "rock star" atmosphere of their college days. Finally, the two dive into the "real ones" of the league, featuring a live FaceTime cameo from Mike's long-time teammate and "NFL BFF" Lavonte David in the Experian Call Your BFF segment. They discuss David's Hall of Fame-worthy stats and the mutual respect shared between elite competitors, promising a 49ers culture in 2026 that is built on legendary experience and a relentless pursuit of a gold jacket.
