​#3 DARRYNTON EVANS VS North Carolina (2019)

#3 DARRYNTON EVANS HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths: He is tremendously jittery and elusive that compliments his speed when he has the ball in his hand. He has good ball security and not fumble the ball with over 480 carries. His vision is good that allows him to be a productive back running the ball between the offensive tackles. He has an excellent ability to make tacklers miss in the open field. He has excellent contact balanced and the ability to spin out of a tackle or uses a nasty jab step to step up his defender. A productive running back comes out of the backfield as a receiver. He is a tremendous and reliable pass receiver who can be dangerous as a third-down back. As a pass protector, he is not shy to stick his nose in to block. He can become a candidate for the kick return game.​

Weaknesses: One of the concerns will be the level of play competition in college.
He will not be a workhorse back but maybe a solid third-down back. He does not have the build to be a short-yardage back will have to finesse to convert.
 
Draft Grade: 6.18

Draft Projection: 5th round
