The Buffalo Bills are still fighting despite so many players going down to injuries. Even when this team returns to full force in 2017, they’re probably going to need some help in their defensive backfield.

Texas A&M’s Justin Evans could be a guy that the Ryan brothers mold into a franchise safety. Evans is a safety with swagger that’s capable of laying big hits on a consistent basis. Meanwhile, he has continued to develop some legitimate ball skills, which have allowed him to create a handful of turnovers this season.

Evans will need to continue to add some weight to his 6’1”, 200-pound frame if he wants to play strong safety at the next level. However, the potential is there for Evans to come into Buffalo and make an immediate impact.
