Keenan Allen says his dispute with Mike Evans is in the past.
Allen joined Evans in the 49ers wide receiver room this week after a trade from the Colts.
“We crushed him a long time ago,” Allen said Wednesday, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “Everyone wants to come back, obviously. But no, Mike is a hell of a player. He’s probably better than me at this point.”
In a memorable year 2020 back and forth on social networksAllen and Evans engaged in a heated debate over who was the better wide receiver.
Allen was ranked 77th in the NFL Top 100 that season. Tyreek Hill placed 22nd, Evans 30th and Chris Godwin 38th. Allen argued that he was better than Hill, Evans and Godwin.
“Okay, I’m tired of biting 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 don’t do the rankings and don’t care about them. I like the confidence but be realistic, you’re not on my level bro.”
Allen, now in his 14th season, has 1,095 catches for 12,402 yards and 71 touchdowns and is a six-time Pro Bowler. Evans, now in his 13th season, has 893 catches for 13,472 yards and 111 touchdowns and is a six-time Pro Bowler.
