PRO: The Titans selected Darrynton Evans in the third round (93rd overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft. The 5-foot-10-inch, 203-pounder brings a complete skill set to the running back corps, excelling in rushing between the tackles, blocking, and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. The Appalachian State product has also shown big-play ability having posted 11 rushes of at least 50 yards in his final two seasons for the Mountaineers. As a junior in 2019, Evans scored 24 total touchdowns which ranked third nationally.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
• Evans was named the 2019 Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year after posting 1,480 rushing yards and scoring 24 total touchdowns.
• In 2019, Evans joined Stanford's Christian McCaffrey (2015) and East Carolina's Chris Johnson (2007) as the only FBS players this millennium with at least 1,400 rushing yards, five touchdown receptions and a kickoff return for a score in the same season.
• In 2018, Evans was selected first-team All-Sun Belt after compiling a league-leading 1,187 rushing yards and nine total touchdowns. His 6.6-yards per carry was the third-best season average in Appalachian State history for a player with at least 150 attempts.

TITANS TIDBITS:
• In 2019, Evans' mother, Evelyn, a retired probation officer for the Department of Corrections, was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Luckily, doctors caught it early, but she couldn't come to his games for half of the season because of treatment and needing to be close to home. But once she was cleared to attend, she didn't miss another game. At the NFL Scouting Combine in February, Evans raised money and brought awareness to ECANA (Endometrial Cancer Action Network for African-Americans) by getting pledges for every inch of his vertical leap. He raised more than $3,200 with a vertical of 37 inches.
• Evans grew up with and went to high school with San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert, Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety D'Cota Dixon and Washington linebacker Cole Holcolmb. Mostert, who led the NFC champion 49ers in rushing in 2019, was among the first to reach out to Evans on social media during the draft, tweeting three simple words: "We built different!"
• Evans got a headstart on the Titans' playbook during his final season at Appalachian State. Every year, the Mountaineer coaches study one NFL offense and incorporate some of its principles into their own playbook. It just so happened that App State chose the Titans prior to the 2019 season.
• Evans earned a grade point average of 3.34 and was tabbed the Sun Belt's Top Scholar by Street & Smith magazine.
• Evans enjoys playing video games, particularly NBA2K, Call of Duty and Madden, solving rubix cubes and producing music in his spare time.
