to come back or we need to seriously look at adding another bruiser type back that can pick up the blitz and catch the
ball out of the backfield. Need to look for one of these types in the Draft. Not many are thinking about this. I do believe
Mixon will have his best season behind this OL but a RB's career as a bell cow is not a long one.
Evans is a scat back and another Receiver, I doubt he could handle a lot of carries like Mixon or Perine can.

As already pointed out he had a lot of carries last year and that will probably increase this year without help.
I don't think Evans has really ever had the opportunity to show whether or not he can handle a load. He looked fine in the limited touches he got this season. I know he wasn't used regularly at Michigan for one reason or another, but maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in?
