I stole this, but this guy put together a guide. He took an average of the heights and weights of the 109 active running backs* across the league.
Average Height of an NFL Running Back
The average height of an NFL Running Back is 70.66 inches (just over 5’10 1/2″).
Average Weight of an NFL Running Back
The average weight of an NFL Running Back is 213.17 pounds.
Sure, but those guys listed are all dynamically better than Chase Brown. He isn't particularly fast or elusive. Nor is he a prolific receiver of the football. The guys on that list certainly are.
If a RB is on the smaller side (Brown is) then he needs to be super dynamic in other ways to make up for the lack of size. He looks like a JAG when he touches the ball... Just A Guy. Evans has shown dynamic ability as a runner and receiver. It's just so odd to me that he continues to sit.
The knock on him during the preseason was that he bounced outside and freelanced too much as well as his lack of pass pro, so they benched him last year.
This preseason the guy stuck his nose between tackles, ran the plays called, and had some excellent pass pro. Evans did very well this preseason, IMO. This was all heavily noted by several beat writers. Yet, Evans sits.
