Keenan Allen, a recent trade acquisition for the San Francisco 49ers, stated that he and new teammate Mike Evans have resolved their past conflict.
Six years ago, Allen and Evans engaged in a public disagreement on social media regarding their respective skills as receivers. Evans had stated that Allen was "not on my level." Allen's initial response, posted in 2020, criticized rankings and directly addressed Evans, Tyreek Hill, and Chris Godwin Jr., asserting that while others might be faster, they did not possess his ability to create separation.
Allen was traded to San Francisco from the Indianapolis Colts before the NFL trade deadline. When asked about the past dispute following his arrival, Allen responded with a smile, "We squashed it a long time ago." He added, "Everybody wants to bring it back up, obviously. But Mike's a hell of a player - he's probably better than me... at this point!"
Despite their resolution, Allen and Evans are unlikely to play together on Sunday. Evans is currently sidelined with Achilles tendinitis and is expected to miss the 49ers' game against the Dallas Cowboys.
