With the No. 93 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected Appalachian State running back, Darrynton Evans.
Coming into this offseason, it was a foregone conclusion that the Titans would cut Dion Lewis, who was ineffective in relief of Derrick Henry and was unable to make an impact in the passing game.
The pick of the 5-foot-10, 203-pound back is the Titans’ attempt to address the need for a backup. Evans is a perfect complement to Henry with his 4.41 40-yard dash speed, and he can contribute in the return game.
Prior to the draft, head coach Mike Vrabel made it clear the team was looking for a running back who could contribute on all three downs, as well as in the return game. Evans checks those boxes.
The third-round pick was the Titans’ last on Day 2. Tennessee was able to nab cornerback Kristian Fulton with its second-round pick (No. 61 overall).
As far as Day 3 goes, the Titans have four picks, with one in the fifth round and three in the seventh round.
