Mike Evans reveals which number he'll wear for 49ers

•Yahoo Sports

Mike Evans is ready for a new era with the San Francisco 49ers.

Mike Evans has worn No. 13 his entire NFL and college career, but everyone knew that was probably going to have to change once he joined the San Francisco 49ers . No.

13 is already quarterback Brock Purdy's number, and the odds Evans could convince Purdy to change his number were slim. So, what number will he wear? Evans told 49ers star linebacker Fred Warner on the "Real Ones: The League" podcast this week that he'll wear No.

5 for the 49ers in 2026, a number he hadn't worn since high school. Evans added that No. 5 was his Little League and middle school number.
