PUNTER!!!!

4. Ethan Evans, P/K, Wingate​

Ethan Evans NFL Draft

Ethan Evans is a big time athlete who just happens to play punter. At 6’4" 230+ pounds, Evans has eyepopping athletic measurables such as a 700 pound squat, 855 deadlift, and 39" vertical. On the field, Evans has shown impressive leg strength which translated into both distance and hang time. He is also capable as a kick off specialist, and served as his team’s field goal kicker this past year. Evans averaged a solid 45.7 yards per punt this past season, which could have easily been more if he wasn’t always having to control his punts inside the 20 yard line. He’ll need to continue working on his placement near the goal line, and prove to teams that he’s able to be a holder on field goals.

2022 Stats​

45.7 yards per punt, 39 inside the 20, 13 touchbacks, 24.7% fair catch forced, long of 67, 66% kickoff touchback rate

Any worse than when we started Cody Davis?
He sounds like a slightly slower version of Davis. First person I thought of as well. It's pretty crazy that he's stuck around in the NFL so long, but that's what speed and ST ability will do for you.

Nah, I don't see that. Taylor II is overaggressive in his pursuits and takes bad angles occasionally because of it, but he's very instinctive, something that Cody Davis - for all of his athleticism - never was. He's solid in coverage, and when he hits someone, they get stopped. Ranked 4th among FBS safeties with eighty solo tackles.

I hope he is a diamond but he’ll have to lose a few bad habits to make it happen.

Who wants to bet Les tries to trade down when we're on the clock for Mr. Irrelevant?
