LA Rams speak to two running backs

Many Rams fans scoff at the idea that the team will draft a running back, a wide receiver, a tight end, or even a quarterback.  And yet, the team met with two running backs at the 2020 NFL Scouting combine.

Also. Can LA Rams running game recover from 2019’s disappointment?. light

The first running back the Rams interviewed at the NFL Scouting Combine was Darrynton Evans, a running back out of Appalachian State who did not show up on many scouting projections for an early draft selection.  Of course, he had a huge NFL Scouting Combine performance which catapulted him into the face of many NFL draft scouts.  He measures 5-foot-10 and weighs 203-pounds. He showed stunning speed at the 40-yard dash, which served to punctuate his entire Combine performance.

The Rams have two players of interest from Appalachian State in both Evans and Gaither-Davis.  Evans adds plenty of production in both the running game and pass receptions. But the Rams may be giving Evans a look like a potential kick and punt returner for 2020.  He is incredibly versatile, super speedy, and would be a great addition to the team in multiple ways.
