Te Mitchell Evans plans to bend an emergency dame trend at NFL Combine

Mitchell Evans will chill the trend of his former Notre Dame teammate at this year's NFL Scouting Combine.

Evans, a 6-foot 5, 258-pfund-Engend, plans to take part in the test share and position exercises in the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Friday. He would be the first and last of Notre Dame's eight combined participants to complete physical tests this year.

The rest of Evans teammates have decided either due to an injury or a lack of preparation time since the defeat against the state of Ohio in the CFP National Championship game. Former buckeyes usually do the same.

Evans has prepared for this week by working with work Jeremy Holt by Athelite Performance in Nashville, Tenn.

“I feel good,” said Evans. “I came out of the season, which was quite unscathed to play 16 games from a knee injury. I feel pretty good. “

The workload of Evans to start the season of Notre Dame 2024 was easier than usual because he had worked back from a torn ACL at the end of October 2023. Evans still played in all 16 games for Notre Dame, but he only appeared in the fifth game of the season, a 31st-24 win against Louisville, on September 28th.

In his last semester at Notre Dame Evans was able to concentrate more on being athletes than a student.

“It helped me to have a loan at school at the end, so I had a lot of additional free time in my hands,” said Evans. “With this free time, I used it to get into the weight room, to get into recovery, to get into the training room and prepare my body and to be like a professional. Place the right things in my body and meet the right people and do all the things necessary to appear on Saturdays. “

Evans ended the season as the leader of Notre Dame in passports with 43. These catches led to 421 yards and three touchdowns. His career numbers ended in 77 catches for 903 yards and five touchdowns.

The highlighting of these numbers is not a priority for Evans this week. He would like to give the NFL team a better understanding of how he found success in college and what it will enable him to do at the next level.

“My goal is to create a great relationship with all trainers and all support employees for the teams,” said Evans. “Personally, it is a goal of mine to look just sporty and smooth and not look rough out there. Just be confident and show the teams that I can distinguish. “

Evans used a short lead into the process at the end of January when one day he practiced Bowl for the east-west shrine and spent the rest of his time in Arlington, Texas, and got to know the NFL staff. He was able to get to know the trainer and scouts and learn some details of an NFL crime and special team system.

The product of Wadsworth, Ohio, wants to improve its NFL opportunity in every conceivable way. Therefore, it is so important to him to get out in the field on Friday.

“It is a lifelong dream to be here,” said Evans. “I still have the feeling that I can remember when I was a little child who wanted to be here. Everything happened somehow in a moment. Now that I am here, I am just trying to be where my feet are and do not stay present and the moment does not get bigger than it actually is. I'm just trying to stay concentrated and present at the moment. “

This includes not taking care of expanding astonishing stripes, having selected tight ends in the NFL design. The tight end with most begins in his position in Notre Dame an NFL -draft pick every season since 2004. The strip started with Anthony Fasanowhich was selected in the second round of the Miami Dolphin draft in 2006 and was recently expanded by Michael Mayerwho was a second round of the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2023 draft.

Evans is probably not as high as Fasano or Mayer, but he is confident that his name will be called.

“I don't really feel the pressure of it,” said Evans. “I simply turn it into excitement to continue this inheritance and continue the inheritance. In view of this emergency title of the tight end U, the legacy and so. I definitely don't want to be the type that breaks through this series. That would be somehow Eesh. But I am confident enough until that doesn't happen. “

Evans will continue to try to give an explanation of his game this week after he has strongly closed the season. He caught 19 passes for 208 yards and a touchdown in Notre Dame's Final Five Games, including four playoff games.

“I felt like I was able to compete with the best,” said Evans about his playoff performance. “With the playoffs we played better and better defenses, better teams and better systems every week. I have my best film, the best game on tape.

“Unfortunately, it didn't go as we wanted in the end, but I learned a lot about myself in the sense that I can compete with the best that I am hard, I'm smart enough to see what I see out there against certain immune system and I can compete with the best.”
