Kyle Juszczyk: Mike Evans has been "unguardable" at practice

Mike Evans can still play.

That was never a question, even with the wide receiver turning 33 in August. The only question is: Can he stay healthy?

He has missed 12 games over the past two seasons for various injuries, including his first surgery last season for a broken collarbone.

The 49ers are betting on Evans doing just that, having signed him to a three-year, $42.4 million deal this offseason.

49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk told NFL Network that the six-time Pro Bowler looked even better than expected during offseason practices.

Mike has been so impressive, and I feel like that's saying so much because we were expecting so much," Juszczyk told NFL Network, via joebucsfan.com. Your expectations are already high, and I feel like he's already exceeded that. He has been unguardable at practice. Red zone has been an absolute problem. He's a great teammate. I think everyone has already enjoyed his presence so much. I think he's going to be an incredible leader for the wide receivers room. It's hard to imagine a better addition than Mike has been."

Evans continues to build a Hall of Fame-worthy resume, with 866 catches for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns. He had career-lows in catches (30), yards (368) and touchdowns (three) because his injury last season limited him to a career-low eight games.
