Darrynton Evans, App State
If the Jets were to take App State product Darrynton Evans, he would follow in the footsteps of Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon, fellow small school backs who garnered Gang Green’s interest.
Evans is a change of pace back who can disrupt the flow of the game with his elusiveness and creativity. He may be a bit undersized at 5-foot-10, 203-pounds, but there’s no question he has speed. Evans ran an official 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, further proving that he has the potential to be a home run hitter when letting loose.
Evans was named Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2019, rushing for 1,480 yards on 255 carries with 18 touchdowns. He also caught 21 passes for 198 yards and five scores.
