Like I said earlier, this draft class is filled with talented defensive backs, whether that’s cornerbacks or safeties. Texas A&M’s Justin Evans might not be getting the attention that a lot of these guys are getting, but he’s definitely a player teams could fall in love with.

Evans is a confident safety, and he’s not afraid to let his opponents know that. The Aggies prospect is a heavy hitter who loves to drive his shoulder into unsuspecting ball carriers. Meanwhile, his ball skills have developed nicely this season, as made evident by his four interceptions on the year.

The biggest concern scouts will probably have is regarding his size, coming in at just 200 pounds on a 6’1” frame. If he can continue to bulk up and show up with a good workout at the Combine, there’s a chance he could climb into the middle of the first round.
