Evans was scooped up by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after posting 421 yards and three TDs in 16 games for Notre Dame in 2024. That production was disappointing considering he needed only eight games to rack up 422 yards in 2023. Carolina's an intriguing landing spot for the 6-foot-5, 253-pound TE given the team's lack of established talent at the position, though 2024 fourth-round pick Ja'Tavion Sanders has more pass catching upside than Evans, and Tommy Tremble's a better blocker. Evans doesn't have any glaring holes in his game, which could help him earn a role on offense out of the gate, but separating from NFL defenders will be tough with his underwhelming 4.72 speed.
