Another player will be forced to sit out combine activities after an injury.
Ole Miss running back Zach Evans had planned to participate in the Scouting Combine this week, but then he suffered a minor hamstring strain, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“Ole Miss RB Zach Evans won’t be participating in drills at this week’s scouting combine because of a minor hamstring strain, per source,” Pelissero tweeted on Monday. The plan is to do everything at his pro day.”
Evans declared for the draft in December after one season with the Rebels after transferring from TCU. In his lone year with Ole Miss, Evans rushed for 936 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 6.5 yards per carry.
In Ole Miss’ Texas Bowl loss to Texas Tech, he carried the ball eight times for 37 yards and one touchdown while catching four passes for 26 yards.
Evans spent two seasons at TCU before hitting the portal. In 2020, he rushed for 415 yards and four touchdowns. The next season, he rushed for 648 yards and five touchdowns as a sophomore.
