Scouting Report: Strengths
- Evans is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
- A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, Evans has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius.
- He has a tapered build and strong hands, ripping the ball back with ease when defensive backs manage to get a hold of it.
- He’s very good in contested-catch situations, using his frame effectively to make plays facing the quarterback. Evans also shows a knack for high-pointing the ball, consistently outmuscling defensive backs.
- Good effort at the point of attack and second level as a blocker. Intelligent and will quickly acclimate to an NFL offense.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and he shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Evans really isn’t a burner and doesn’t have elite suddenness, which is problematic considering his average size.
- Evans lacks the twitch to create consistent separation, and despite his size and ability to track the ball downfield, Evans isn’t great on contested catches.
- He’ll give enough effort to get in the way, but because he doesn’t get any push in the run game, he won’t be used in-line early in his career.
