BillsFanForever19 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 This is the exact type of signing you make to replace Nyheim Hines. I couldn't roll my eyes harder at people saying we should get Saquon or Dalvin when the injury was announced. That would have been like saying "we need Hopkins now" if Trent Sherfield went down. We weren't going to move Cook or Harris down the pecking order because Nyheim Hines got hurt. Evans was someone Beane liked a lot heading into the 2020 Draft. We visited with him multiple times Pre-Draft. I was honestly a little surprised that we drafted Zack Moss instead. Evans was the next RB off the board. With Hines going down, I knew Beane would be looking for a similar style RB - as the Speed, Return, and Catch Ability is what brought Hines here. Evans was a converted WR with 4.41 speed. A former 3rd Round Pick who just turned 25. He had some injuries and never really got much of a shot in Tennessee. He's an intriguing prospect and I wouldn't be shocked to see him make the 53 in front of Murray, if he seizes this opportunity to reclaim his career. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a good year for some UDFA RB to impress, that's for sure. I like the Fresno State kid. I thought he was worth a day 3 pick. Given there is an opening he might have a shot to make the team.

Not fast, but shifty/slick running style. Actually reminded me a bit of Blacksheer. Seems like a lack of break away speed. Real nose for the end and finishes off runs well.

Given there is an opening he might have a shot to make the team. ? who are you speaking of? (edit: nvm, I saw you answered. Jordan Mims, our UDFA RB) ----------------- Darrynton Evans draft profile. 5'10" 203 lb https://www.nfl.com/prospects/darrynton-evans/32004556-4111-6537-4adc-98552053123e Quote Like many Appalachian State players before him, Evans has outplayed his two-star recruiting ranking. He was named Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2019 after ranking in the top 10 nationally with 1,480 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on 255 carries (5.8 per). He also caught 21 passes for 198 yards and five scores in 14 starts. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the SBC Championship Game and New Orleans Bowl. Evans was a first-team all-conference pick as a sophomore, as well, starting eight of 13 games played and racking up 1,187 rushing yards (179 carries, 6.6 per, seven TDs; also 12-87-7.2, one TD receiving). The Oak Hill, Florida, native contributed on offense as a freshman (48-217-4.5) and then had to redshirt the 2017 season due to a knee injury. Evans was a strong kickoff returner during his career (56-1,439-25.7 in three years), housing one return for a touchdown each seas Quote Slashing outside-zone runner with glide in his stride and ability to run with elusiveness and creativity. Evans is a little undersized and might be viewed as a change-of-pace option, but he appears to have the three-down skill set to handle committee carries. He can run with patience, but has the loose hips and agile feet to plant-and-go in a hurry. He sees the field and does a nice job of setting up and eluding tacklers with lateral cuts or stacked moves. While he's confident in space, Evans lacks the commitment and finishing force to make a living inside the tackles. His third-down and kick-return versatility increases the likelihood that Evans will hear his name called in the middle rounds with a chance to become a solid RB2. The part that catches my eye "why this guy?" is that he returned kickoffs in college, and also returned some kickoffs for Tennessee.
