Mike Evans’ brutal dig at Stefon Diggs’ brother Trevon Diggs reportedly promoted by former Seahawks star Richard Sherman

Mike Evans joined the NFL in 2014. A year later, Stefon Diggs entered the league. Then in 2020, Diggs’ younger brother Trevon Diggs was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.It’s not unlikely for a player who is a 12-year veteran to not know someone who’s a 5-year veteran. It just speaks to obliviousness. How inattentive, heedless, and unaware Mike Evans must be to ignore what is happening around him.Yes, he’s more into his game. But to insult someone who has been in the league for almost six years?That speaks to immaturity and rowdiness, as if he could do anything on the gridiron just because he’s winning all the games after he transferred from a losing team [Tampa Bay Buccaneers] to a Super Bowl-contending team [San Francisco 49ers].Mike Evans checks Stefon Diggs’ brother Trevon Diggs’ jerseyMike Evans delivered one of the most memorable trash-talking moments of the 2026 NFL season. Cyberspace won’t let it disappear anytime soon. Not now, not ever.The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver got into a heated exchange with Seattle Seahawks cornerback Trevon Diggs during their Week 5 clash on October 11 at Lumen Field in Seattle.The one-minute confrontation stood out as the most embarrassing moment because of Mike Evans’ dismissive response. Instead of just exchanging words with the Seahawks cornerback, the veteran wide receiver turned Diggs around to check the name on the back of his jersey.Evans grabbed Diggs by the shoulders and turned him around to look at his nameplate, as if questioning the identity of the player confronting him. Or maybe he was disrespecting him while the cameras were watching? Anyhow, it became a viral moment that had NFL fans laughing because they weren’t ready for it!Mike Evans could not recognize Trevon DiggsMike Evans later justified his disrespectful actions. Speaking after the San Francisco 49ers’ 32-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks, the veteran said that he had been blocking Diggs until the whistle and believed the cornerback accused him of doing extra.The veteran added that he initially didn’t recognize Diggs because helmets can make identification difficult.“I didn’t know that was him at first, because I played against him a few times, and we’ve always been cool. He was a good player. And I honestly didn’t know it was him because in the helmet, it’s hard to tell sometimes,” Evans explained.After Evans checked Diggs’ back, Diggs probably felt disrespected, so he pushed Evans back by knocking on his helmet.Richard Sherman found the Mike Evans Trevon Diggs moment funnyFormer Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback and current NFL analyst Richard Sherman truly enjoyed the Mike Evans-Trevon Diggs exchange. He called it a perfect example of on-field trash talk.“Mike Evans checking to see the name on the back of the jersey is an all-time GIF and trash-talk moment that I wish I would have thought of.” If analysts approve of this as something funny, what will future veterans do to junior veterans?
