2023 NFL DRAFT: ZACH EVANS
By Brandon Lane
OLE MISS (JR), RB
A five-star recruit Evans signed and played two season with TCU. In his sophomore year he rushing 92 times for 648 yards and 5 TDs (missing six games due to injury). In 2022 he transfered to Ole Miss where he rushed 144 times for 936 yards scoring nine touchdowns (missing games with a hip injury and concussion). While Evans isn’t a burner his vision and decisiveness allow him to consistently win. Off-field issues are a concern but with plenty of tread left on the tires (under 300 collegiate carries) some NFL franchise could end up with an elite talent in this year’s draft.
Pluses:
• Tackle breaker
• Excellent vision
• Good size to carry the load
Concerns:
• Fumbles
• Off-field issues
• Injury concern
