Six years after a memorable social media spat, Keenan Allen and Mike Evans are now sharing a locker room after Allen joined the San Francisco 49ers right around the trade deadline on Tuesday.

Almost immediately, a section of the fan base worried about what the mood would be like with both stars on the same roster. But the six-time Pro Bowler has now addressed that speculation in an interview.

No One Is Letting Keenan Allen Forget About Beef With Mike Evans

The two wide receivers were standouts of the 2010s and early 2020s. Combined, they have made 12 Pro Bowls and continue to be productive in their respective roles. But years ago, the two were also embroiled in a public feud.

After Allen found himself ranked lower than Evans in the NFL’s Top 100 and other wide receivers in the league in 2020, he called Evans and others out on social media, leading to some back-and-forth. Now that they are teammates on a 49ers team sitting atop the NFC at 7-1, the beef came up once again, and Allen revealed where he stands.

“We squashed it a long time ago,” the former Los Angeles Chargers star confessed. “Everybody wants to bring it back up. But obviously, Mike’s a hell of a player.”

Allen even went on to admit, “He’s probably better than me at this point.”

Given how the feud started, Allen’s admission marks a huge turnaround. When the NFL Top 100 Players of 2020 rankings came out, the then-Chargers star was annoyed at his placement.

Singling out Evans, Chris Godwin and Tyreek Hill, he tweeted, “Ok I’m tired of biting my tongue… Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, Chris Goodwin… ( and the list goes on) are not better receivers than me! Faster than me… every day of the week, but separation… Child, please!”

Evans laughed off the tweet, in part because Allen had tagged the wrong account for Godwin. But the former Super Bowl champion also stood up for himself.

“I like the confidence, but be realistic. You not on my level, bro,” Evans remarked.

Statistically, the two players are at different stages of their careers. Evans has been the No. 1 receiver for the 49ers this season, while Allen was a utility player for the Indianapolis Colts before they traded him to San Francisco for a sixth-round pick.

Allen has 40 catches for 351 yards and a touchdown in eight games. Through Week 9, he ranks No. 52 with a PFN WR Impact Score of 72.1, while Evans ranks No. 12 with a score of 81.9. Evans has 27 catches for 420 yards and three touchdowns in just six games.

Now that their feud seems to be over, the two could form an extremely productive veteran duo and help push the 49ers over the hump.
