The Cincinnati Bengals didn’t make many major changes to the running back room this offseason despite outside expectations.
That means, going into training camp, Chris Evans remains a factor in the conversation. Here’s a look at his profile as we continue counting down to the season opener.
Experience: 3 years (Round 6, 2021)
Age: 25
College: Michigan
2022 PFF Grade: n/a
Numbers to Know: 17 regular season rushing attempts and 18 catches over two seasons.
Resume and Outlook: Evans was an exciting value pick in 2021, especially because of his versatility as a receiver out of the backfield. But he had a hard time making headway past fellow backups like Samaje Perine and his lack of playing time makes it easy for outsiders to suggest he’s not trusted as a blocker yet. He can still make headway as a returner on special teams, but the team just used a draft pick on Chase Brown to add more competition behind Joe Mixon.
