A Rams show hand by talking to 2 RBs

Running back Darrynton Evans, a 5-foot-10, 203-pound running back out of Appalachian State was the first to meet with the Rams. While he was not on many scouting projections for an early draft selection, he had a huge NFL Scouting Combine performance which catapulted him into the face of many NFL draft scouts. He showed stunning speed at the 40-yard dash, which served to punctuate his entire Combine performance.

To be clear, the Rams want to become much faster on the offensive side of the ball.

I’m told Appalachian State RB and @footballCudas grad Darrynton Evans met formally with the Vikings, Rams and Colts at the #NFLCombine. He’s also spoken to the 49ers, Raiders, Ravens and Texans.

But the Rams may be giving Evans a look at the special team’s return specialist for 2020. He is incredibly versatile, super speedy, and would be a great addition to the team in multiple ways.
