Hall of Famer Terrell Owens has criticized San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans, saying he was unimpressed by Evans’ performance against the Washington Commanders. Owens described Evans’ plays as “really average” and said, “I can do that,” arguing he could still produce at Evans’ level in the NFL. He also questioned Evans’ route running, despite the receiver’s strong start with San Francisco. The 49ers added Evans during the offseason, and Owens’ remarks came after Evans had played six games with the team. Evans was dealing with rib and Achilles injuries during the performance that prompted Owens’ criticism. The comments have drawn attention because they target a veteran receiver who joined the 49ers with high expectations. Owens, a retired six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, is himself a former NFL star and Hall of Famer.
