Mike Evans Reveals 49ers Jersey Number in Video After Signing Contract in NFL FA

New San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans revealed that he'll wear the No. 5 jersey during his first year in the Bay Area.

"I'm gonna be number five," Evans said during a Wednesday appearance on the Real Ones podcast. "Yeah. That's my high school football number, my little league number and my middle school number."

Evans previously wore No. 13 across the first 12 seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He joined San Francisco on a three-year, $60.4 million contract as a free agent on March 9.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy currently wears No. 13.

While Evans will be 33 years old at the start of his 2026 campaign, he's remained impactful in recent seasons.

He hauled in 153 receptions for 2,259 yards and 24 touchdowns across 31 starts from 2023-24.

Evans was limited to just eight games during the 2025 season due to a broken clavicle and a hamstring injury, recording 30 catches for 368 yards and three scores.

Still, expectations are high for the six-time Pro Bowler as he looks to help the 49ers clinch a second consecutive playoff berth in 2026.
