Rams draft RB Zach Evans in 6th round

The Los Angeles Rams selected Ole Miss running back Zach Evans in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 215th overall.

Evans transferred from TCU to Ole Miss last season and had a tremendous campaign, racking up 936 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 6.5 yards per carry.

Pre-draft profile

Don't let the limited college production fool you - Evans could be a baller in the NFL. The TCU transfer finally got an opportunity to shine after joining Ole Miss in 2022 and was quickly able to establish himself as one of the class' most interesting running backs. Evans is best suited in a zone system that allows him to make one cut and get upfield. He shows good vision to set up blocks, the burst to hit his run lanes, and the balance to work through contact. Evans is also a highly competitive player who will look to finish runs far more often than one might expect for a back his size. He also brings that physicality in pass protection, giving him immediate three-down upside, even if there is some development required of him as a receiver.
