49ers WR Jacob Cowing: Mike Evans Sees "Juice"
9 Jun
Summary
- Mike Evans praised receiver Jacob Cowing for his "juice" and speed.
- Cowing's performance is hindered by recurring injuries.
- His roster spot is uncertain without a strong training camp and preseason.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing has drawn praise from veteran Mike Evans for his "juice" and speed. Evans commented on Cowing's playmaking ability during Week 2 of OTAs, noting his quickness and the potential he brings to the team. However, Cowing's trajectory with the 49ers has been consistently disrupted by injuries since his draft.
This history of being injury-prone makes him an unreliable prospect. Cowing has struggled to maintain consistency, with impressive practices often followed by injuries. The 49ers' offseason additions of receivers like Evans and Christian Kirk suggest a lack of confidence in Cowing's durability.
Unless Cowing demonstrates exceptional performance during training camp and the preseason, his position on the roster is precarious. He faces a strong possibility of being released, particularly if the team prioritizes experience over youth, favoring veterans like Demarcus Robinson. Cowing must continue to impress, not just Evans but also head coach Kyle Shanahan, to secure his spot.
