He didn't do well in the NFL combines


A successful season, culminating in a Belk Bowl win versus Arkansas, led Evans to be invited to the Combine. Unfortunately, the invitation was probably the only positive regarding the Combine. His footwork in under center, pro-style 3, 5, and 7-foot drops looked awkward and unbalanced at times. When in shorts and a t-shirt, these things must be precise for NFL quarterbacks, especially those wanting to be drafted high. For Evans, it was a struggle. As the case is with every quarterback, his arm is tied to his legs, with poor feet come poor throws. He was inaccurate at times during drills, missing high and low due to inconsistency with his base and legs. At his Pro Day, Evans was better as his footwork and his arm strength were on display. This, coupled with better ball placement, made for a better day than the Combine. This was probably because he was in a familiar setting, throwing to familiar receivers, as well as a lower pressure situation than the Combine.
