“Let’s say six offensive linemen get drafted before the 49ers pick, and that they pass on Utah tackle Caleb Lomu (who visited the team facility Tuesday), Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor and Texas A&M guard Chase Bisontis at No. 27.

“We know in the NFL there’s a lot of divas,” Stroud mentioned. “There’s a lot of guys that come back to the huddle and they’re always open. And I’m sure Mike felt that way at times, too. But Mike was never that guy. It’s rare to talk about ‘unselfish’ at a position that is intrinsically selfish. But that’s who Mike is. He truly is.”

And he was deeply disenchanted final 12 months when accidents pressured him to overlook 9 video games and prevented him from passing Rice with a twelfth straight 1,000-yard season. But he mentioned Evans’ main focus has been profitable, pointing to the cut price contract he signed with the 49ers as the newest proof.”
