Mike Evans issues Brock Purdy verdict having previously played with Tom Brady

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has made an exceptional start to the season, which has seen him crowned the NFC Offensive Player of the Month. Heading into Week Four, the Niners are looking to maintain their unbeaten record, which has largely come as a result of Purdy’s excellence.

Mike Evans issues Brock Purdy verdict having previously played with Tom Brady

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has had an outstanding start to the 2026 season, leading the team with nine touchdowns and only one interception in the first three games. Quarterback Brock Purdy's performance has been so impressive that wide receiver Mike Evans, who has played alongside the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady, has offered his verdict on Purdy's progress.

Evans, who is currently listed as questionable for the Week Four game against the Denver Broncos, praised Purdy's high level of play and expressed his excitement to see him continue this trend. Despite being forced to miss a season due to injury, Evans will need to improve his receiving yardage to match last year's projection of around 750 yards.

The biggest challenge for the Niners this season will likely continue to be their recurring injury issues.
