Terron Armstead (2013) was the last player to be drafted from the Arkansas-Pine Bluff program, but Evans has a good chance to get picked on Day 3.Ĥ. His game translates best to NFL teams that use outside zone schemes, where he can use his quick feet and savviness to win with his hands and angles. Due to his lack of length, scouts are projecting Evans to play center at the next level, and the 293-pounder was strictly on the interior during the week of practices at the East-West Shrine Bowl. HT: 6-foot-2 | WT: 293 pounds | Class: SeniorĮvans played his entire career at left tackle, and he showed plenty of physicality and balance while continuing to improve in many areas. McShay's post-Super Bowl mock draft: First-round landing spots, four QBs in the top 10 - and a huge tradeĢ Related 3.Regardless, he could be an instant-impact player on special teams in the pros while he continues to develop as a linebacker. I've heard a lot of positive feedback about Miller's game from scouts, and many are surprised that he didn't receive an invite to the NFL combine in Indianapolis. Miller was named the SWAC Defensive Player of the Year last season after 117 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, two sacks and five forced fumbles. And he consistently showcased an ability to read, diagnose and attack downhill, proving he's capable of being a three-down player who can also hold up in coverage. He was primarily the Mike linebacker, but Miller's versatility was on display throughout his career. HT: 6-foot | WT: 229 pounds | Class: SeniorĪfter transferring from Missouri in search of an expanded role, Miller found the perfect landing spot at Jackson State, where he has been the heart and soul of the Tigers. For teams seeking immediate help on obvious passing downs, Land could be an added boost. Dropping into coverage will be an adjustment for him, but he'll mainly be a designated pass-rusher early in his career while he continues to gain weight. We saw him play primarily standup outside linebacker at the Senior Bowl, and that is likely his position at the next level. He finished last season with 12 tackles for loss and eight sacks over nine games. Land is lanky but has burst, bend and a quick first step out of the starting blocks, which was routinely too much for FCS offensive tackles to handle. He finished with 19.5 sacks and earned the Buck Buchanan Award as the FCS Defensive Player of the Year. HT: 6-foot-3 | WT: 226 pounds | Class: SeniorĪ highly productive pass-rusher, Land had his best season in 2021. Note: Legacy Bowl and/or HBCU combine participants are marked with an asterisk.
