Round 4 (132nd overall)

Justin Evans- 6′ 195 pounds- safety- Texas A&M

Evans is a talented athlete that plays way bigger than his listed size.

More from The Landry Hat

He is a willing tackler that packs a devastating punch as a run stopper.

He is a rare strong safety that has plus coverage skills.

Evans closes quickly on the ball and takes aggressive angles, which can be both a positive and negative trait.

During his two seasons as an Aggie, Evans recorded a total 165 tackles, 11 pass defends and five interceptions.

If it weren’t for a solid safety class, Evans is likely a 2nd day draft selection.

Pairing the hard hitter with impressive range with Byron Jones gives the Cowboys one of the most athletic safety duos in the NFL.
