Tennessee Titans 2020 third-round pick Darrynton Evans will be making his first appearance in the Madden NFL video game franchise in 2020, and now we know what his rating will be.
According to the Madden NFL 21 official site, Evans has been given an initial overall ranking of 69, the ninth-highest rating among incoming rookie running backs.
Here’s a look at some of the most important ratings for the Titans’ back.
Speed – 92

Evans is tied for the second-highest speed rating among rookie running backs. Only Jonathan Taylor (93) has a better mark.
The backs with a higher overall rating than Evans are as follows:
- J.K. Dobbins – 75 overall
- Clyde Edwards-Helaire – 74 overall
- D’Andre Swift – 74 overall
- Cam Akers – 73 overall
- Jonathan Taylor – 73 overall
- A.J. Dillon – 72 overall

- Antonio Gibson – 69 overall
Ratings are regularly updated during the season, so it’s possible Evans gets a boost as his rookie campaign progresses.
Evans is expected to be the first in line to spell Derrick Henry in 2020, replacing Dion Lewis, who was cut by the team earlier this offseason.
On top of his duties as a back, it’s possible we’ll see Evans contributing in the return game. The Appalachian State product averaged 25.7 yards per kick return during his college career.
