Prospect Info
COLLEGE LouisvilleHEIGHT 5’ 9 1/2’’WEIGHT 225 lbsARM 30 3/8’’HAND 8 1/2.40-Yard Dash: 4.52 Seconds10-Yard Split: 1.61 SecondsVertical Jump: 30.5.Player Bio.Evans played quarterback his senior year at Hartsville High School in South Carolina after playing the two prior seasons at running back, rushing for over 2,000 yards in each of those years. He signed with Hutchinson Community College for 2019 (538 yards, nine TDs rushing; two kick return TDs in 12 games) but the school did not play in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns. Evans enrolled at Tennessee in January 2021, but injuries limited him to two starts in seven contests (81-525-6.5, six TDs rushing; 4-74-18.5, one TD receiving). He entered the transfer portal before the Volunteers’ final game and landed at Louisville for the 2022 campaign. He again was sidelined by injury but started six of eight appearances (83-525-6.3, six TDs rushing; 6-13-2.2 receiving) to garner honorable mention All-ACC honors. — by Chad Reuter.AnalysisBy Lance Zierlein.Low-cut back with a muscular frame and an unpolished running style. Evans is ready to charge ahead and find the action on every snap, but he needs to run with better tempo and patience to allow his blocks to develop. He has sudden feet and good burst as both an inside and outside runner. He also has the contact balance to keep runs alive. His vision and feel for setting up blocks isn’t great, though. Evans’ lack of third down value and special teams experience will make it more challenging for him to earn a RB3 spot..Strengths- Compact frame with low center of gravity.
- Burst to outrun linebackers to the corner.
- Feet stay close to the ground, improving contact balance.
- Sneaks out of side pocket with sudden, lateral slides.
- Keeps feet moving and probing through contact.
- Finishes with acceleration into contact.
.
Weaknesses- Fumbled three times on 83 carries in 2022.
- Running style lacks rhythm and tempo.
- Rushes and fails to allow blocks to develop.
- Lacks feel for press-and-cut on zone runs.
- Below-average creativity on second level.
- Non-factor as a third-down option.

Nick Hampton is a 6’2 237 EDGE With 34” arms. He’s a pure speed rusher. His burst is exceptional at the snap and he can quickly threaten the edge with ease. His dip and rip is deadly and he bends the corner with fluidity pic.twitter.com/Py1zaRBZVA

Davis Allen never had more than one drop in any season of his career with a drop rate of only 3.3%. Not a dynamic receiver and needs to bulk up to be a true in-line player but is fundamentally sound in terms of technique/angling — Brugler

znModeratorI’m still rounding up data but I have impressions.
On offense, the Rams plugged in some pieces to keep an offense going that would have been good last year if it were healthy. Guard, depth at TE, RB, and WR.
On defense, they changed their entire defensive strategy (note: I don’t mean scheme). Previously they had Donald but Ramsey made the secondary the unit of strength. They asked Ramsey to do a lot. Trading him IMO had as much to do with changing that focus as it did with cap space. Now, in this draft, they load up the front 7 and seem to be approaching it this way–the defense should be built around the front 7 and if that works, the secondary will come through, and will have both an easier job and simpler responsibilities. I don’t know how many players they took this draft will work out, but the clear strategy is to attack with a front 7 that lends itself to stunts and games and aggressive play.
In terms of the secondary, they have candidates on the roster already who can play outside at corner but they lacked a nickel/slash/slot corner. And sure enough they take a guy who has the potential to be the best they ever had at the nickel/3rd corner position.
