Darrynton Evans | Appalachian State
If speed kills and size doesn’t mean much to you, Darrynton Evans could fit the bill. Evans reportedly already had pre-draft meetings with the Bills, so there’s certainly a chance he could end up in Buffalo. Evans turned some heads with his 4.41 40-yard time at the combine, the second-best among running backs, further proving his burner speed. He added the fifth-best broad jump as well (125 inches). Along with his speed, Evans is a bouncey runner, much like Devin Singletary, and he hasn’t fumbled the ball since his freshman year despite a massive workload.
Despite his speed, his size will need to bulk up in the NFL, at 5-foot-11 and near 200 pounds. That’s also hampered his abilities to get yards after contact. As a product of App. State, he’ll need to prove he can keep up in the pro levels, keeping him as a potential early Day 3 pick.
