Scouting Report: Strengths
- Evans gets off the snap quickly, and Evans is consistently able to generate movement at the point of attack, typically finishing those blocks strong.
- In the run game, he plays with a mean streak and does a nice job generating a push at the initial point of attack. He can get outside and does a decent job landing blocks in space.
- Evans will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where he could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
- Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
- In the run game, he explodes off the line of scrimmage and consistently gets out to the second level to do damage.
- Showing some nastiness to his game, he will sustain blocks through the whistle, thriving when he’s in the phone booth.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His physical gifts were enough to get by against collegiate opponents, but Evans had trouble with bull rushers when facing quality competition, which is potentially a problem in the NFL.
- Lacks ideal movement skills in the run game. He’ll get to the second level, but he tends to lock on to a path toward his target and then struggles if he has to adjust.
- Too often is pushed back into the pocket during pass protection becaus~ he bends at the waist rather than at the knees. Relies more on precise angles than physicality in the running game.
