Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Texas A&M's Justin Evans with the No. 50 overall pick

Texas A&M is continuing to bolster its NFL Draft success with a promising start to 2017.

With the 50th pick in the second round, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected safety Justin Evans. He is the second Aggie drafted after Myles Garrett was taken No. 1 overall Thursday night.
