His effort in blitz pickup is. Evans was said to be a good blitz pickup RB at Michigan. Wouldn't hurt to give him some snaps
and could even be an explosive addition to the Offense cause as you say, he has that break away speed the other backs do 
not. He is also a very good Receiver and seems to have good vision as he is a Returner.

I agree about this, but Mixon not being a threat as a break-away RB is huge to me.

He should've been coached up is my opinion.  His balance issues(even running in a straight line)are very concerning and leaves yards on the field.

As far as his ankle injury excuses...  why was he almost leading the league in carries if he's so dinged up?

Shouldn't that mean his work load would be spread to others?!?
