The Chicago Bears claimed former App State star running back Darrynton Evans off of waivers Thursday afternoon. The 2020 third-round draft pick spent two seasons with the Tennessee Titans before being waived by the team.
In the three seasons Evans played for the Mountaineers, he rushed for 2,884 yards, good for ninth-most in App State history. Evans was a two-time Sun Belt Championship game MVP as well as MVP of the 2019 New Orleans Bowl, a game where he rushed for 157 yards while averaging 8.3 yards per carry. The 2019 Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year was also named to the All-Sun Belt first team twice.
