Rookie DeZhaun Stribling is lighting up the San Francisco 49ers’ preseason with seven catches and rave reviews, sparking Rookie of the Year chatter — but veteran Mike Evans’ early exit due to ankle soreness raises alarms. Former NFL star T.J. Houshmandzadeh warns that if Stribling’s rookie season hinges on a 1,000-yard campaign, it could be a red flag: championship teams don’t rely on unproven rookies to carry the load. With stars like Brock Purdy and Deebo Samuel already carrying heavy expectations, Stribling’s breakout might signal deeper offensive struggles — and whether he can shoulder that burden without veterans stepping up remains the biggest question for the 49ers’ Super Bowl hopes.
