Keenan Allen says his beef with Mike Evans is in the past.
Allen joined Evans in the 49ers’ wide receivers room this week after a trade from the Colts.
“We squashed it a long time ago,” Allen said Wednesday, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “Everybody wants to bring it back up, obviously. But no, Mike’s a hell of a player. He’s probably better than me at this point.”
In a memorable 2020 back-and-forth on social media, Allen and Evans engaged in a spirited debate about who was the better wide receiver.
Allen was ranked 77th on the NFL Top 100 that season. Tyreek Hill ranked 22nd, Evans 30th and Chris Godwin 38th. Allen argued that he was better than Hill, Evans and Godwin.
“Ok I’m tired of biten my tongue...@cheetah @MikeEvans13_ @chrisgoodwin... ( and the list goes on) ARE NOT a better receiver than me! Faster than me...every day of the week but separation..CHILD PLEASE!” Allen wrote in his post.
Evans responded, “You tagged the wrong Chris Godwin lol and don’t be mad at us we ain’t make the rankings or care about em. I like the confidence but be realistic you not on my level bro.”
Allen, who is in his 14th season, has 1,095 catches for 12,402 yards and 71 touchdowns and is a six-time Pro Bowler. Evans, who is in his 13th season, has 893 catches for 13,472 yards and 111 touchdowns and is a six-time Pro Bowler.
