I know he was a favorite of a few people on this board.

Shaqalicious for a PS player who was drafted in 4th round and had 3-4th round grade. Before posting negatives remember only PS guy

ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Good size. Good enough hands -- catches balls that he should and makes hard catches look easy, yet drops easy catches. Extends outside his frame for the ball and can pluck it. Competes in a crowd and can make contested catches. Tied for the fastest 10-yard split (1.47 seconds) of any combine participant.
WEAKNESSES Average production. Lacks top-end burst, acceleration and long speed. Does not threaten the field vertically. Soft-tempered blocker. Displays little creativity after the catch. Struggles to shake tight man coverage and create separation.
DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 3-4
BOTTOM LINE Good-sized, sure-handed possession receiver with the toughness to work through the middle and catch in a crowd. Can make a living as a zone-beating, move-the-chains target.

Note the emphasis here on the big box-out type WR.

 

Move the chains kind of guy.

I liked him coming out of UCLA, a little surprised he didn't stick with New York longer.

This also happened with the practice squad today:

 

<a class="" href='https://twitter.com/mike_e_kaye'>Mike Kaye ‏@mike_e_kaye </a> <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/mike_e_kaye/status/648979930395635712' title="5:57 PM - 29 Sep 2015">34m34 minutes ago</a>
<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Interesting nugget: <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jaguars?src=hash'>#Jaguars</a> cut Jordan Tripp from PS to make room for LaRoy Reynolds who signed to Bears active roster later, Tripp back.

Here's a decent write up on him and his journey so far in the NFL:

I like the part about the jugs machine. Evans has a rep for making spectacular catches as a possession receiver, but he sometimes dropped easy catches. Wanting to ensure he'd eliminate those easy drops from his game, he set out to improve...


 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Evans also spent 30 minutes to an hour every day catching about 300 balls shot from a Jugs machine — totaling 1,500 balls per week.

I liked Evans at UCLA. Best of luck to him.
