Veteran WR Mike Evans<\/a> decided to sign with the 49ers this offseason after spending 12 seasons with the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay RB Bucky Irving<\/a> gave some insight on the strong impression the former All-Pro left on him during their two seasons as teammates.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I first got here, Mike was one of the first to just come up to me and say what\u2019s up,\u201d Irving said, via ESPN\u2019s Jenna Laine<\/a>. \u201cYou never know how those guys really are because you\u2019re on the outside looking in \u2014 just being able to see how humble he is every day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou never see him get too high, you never see him get too low, but just being able to watch him and see how he grows each and every day. It\u2019s a blessing to be around someone that I can probably tell my family or kids one day that I played with one of the greatest to ever do it.\u201d<\/p>\n Ole Miss WR De\u2019Zhaun Stribling took a 30 visit with the Buccaneers. (Evan Winter<\/a>) Former Falcons OT Elijah Wilkinson<\/a> spent three of the past four years with Atlanta and re-signed with the Cardinals in free agency. When fans started poking at Wilkerson on social media, he had no issue with going back at them in now-deleted tweets.
