In 2021, Fred Warner, then an All-Pro and the NFL's highest-paid linebacker, felt like a $95 million fraud.

At rock botton mentally, he reached out to @goldmedalmind, whom he now credits for saving what figures to be a Hall of Fame career.

Some athletes achieve one-name status — Tiger, Ali, Steph — and there are those such as Mike Evans - always his full name - a WR who didn’t seem to sweat as he took over Sunday while, oh by the way, playing with broken ribs.

"That's Mike Evans."

#49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) is out

[Eric Branch @Eric_Branch]

Jacob Cowing was shaken up on kickoff. Without Deebo Samuel, #49ers might be down to three healthy WRs:
Mike Evans
Jordan Watkins
Brandin Cooks

[Eric Branch @Eric_Branch]

#49ers WR Deebo Samuel has been ruled out.

[Eric Branch @Eric_Branch]

#49ers WR Deebo Samuel walked slowly off field. Not a doctor, but looked hamstring-ish.
