Round 5, Pick 177: Appalachian State RB Darrynton Evans
Evans is a bit undersized for what the Chiefs tend to like at the running back position. He also took a redshirt season in 2017 due to injury. Other than those two things, It’s hard not to like everything else this player brings to the table.
Evans has back-to-back seasons with great production, recording just under 3,000 scrimmage yards and 31 touchdowns on 467 touches. He’s an explosive athlete with good vision and big-play capability. He’s a natural when catching the football out of the backfield. He also has experience as a kick returner, scoring a touchdown on kick returns in each of his three healthy seasons as a Mountaineer.
