Before the Tennessee Titans drafted Rashaan Evans in the first round (No. 22 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft, he spent his college days at Alabama.
In an old interview that was dug up in recent days, Evans was asked what his favorite part of being in New Orleans was, and naturally Evans enjoyed his time hanging out on Bourbon Street.
And clearly he didn’t care what his head coach at the time, Nick Saban, thought about it.
Evans took a step in the right direction for the Titans in 2019, as he became a full-time starter at inside linebacker one year after making just seven starts at the position during his rookie campaign.
Evans made the most of his expanded role, totaling 2.5 sacks and 111 tackles (nine for loss), the second-most on the team.
He also made some big plays along the way, including a few huge goal line stops, one in the game against the Los Angeles Chargers in the regular season and another versus the New England Patriots in the postseason.
The Alabama product makes up one half of one of the most talented inside linebacker duos in the NFL along with Jayon Brown, and Titans fans should expect even bigger and better things from the pair in 2020.
