I think Chris Evans could be a very valuable weapon for Cincinnati. A receiving RB is more valuable than a back who can only run, generally speaking. There may be some fringe cases there, but if you have a back that can catch really well then you have a weapon. Evans and Mixon are both great receivers but Evans is lighter than Mixon and a little more shifty. I am looking forward to seeing more of what he has this coming pre-season.
If you're looking for a thumper, we already have that in Mixon and Perine. Both of those guys have good size and are not afraid of contact. I'm a big fan of Evans' potential, perhaps moreso than I should be but adding in a shifty receiving back to what we have is very enticing. I hated letting Gio go because he fit that role absolutely perfectly. I understand why they did it though.
