  1. Keep in mind too that Evans just seems to get stronger and stronger as the game goes on. In the 2008 Maryland game Darren carried 32 times for 253 yards, and with 4 mintues to go, lowered him head and put a vicious hit on a Maryland defender. I guarantee you from the time Darren hit him, until he hit the ground, couldn't have taken 25 hundreths of a second. I did see a comment in this thread or another that Darren was undrafted due to injury or durability concerns. That isn't correct. I have no idea why he is was undrafted. He was assured by one NFL coach that he would be taken in the 3rd or 4th round. Darren missed 2009 with the ACL injury, but came back with a very strong year last year, despite splitting carries with Ryan Williams and David Wilson. To the best of my knowledge in the 2008 and 2010 football seasons, Darren never missed a single play due to injury.

    Sure hope he makes the cut

  2. Hey guys, I've been a Colts fan since the Bert Jones, Lydell Mitchell, Roger Carr, days, and a Darren Evans fan since he committed to the Hokies. Really hope he makes the roster. Have gotten to know his dad over the past few years, and they are great people. I have a question on Brown. Someone said the Colts should keep Brown for his blocking ability, and I've previously seen comments that he was a horrible blocker. Curious as to what you think about his skill as a pass blocker. Any back that comes out of VT is going to be an excellent pass blocker, and Evans is no exception. With Manning's situation, I was hoping Evan's pass blocking ability might give him a little more edge to make the roster. Thanks.
