Vikings sign former Rams offensive tackle, reuniting him with Kevin O’Connell

Bobby Evans survived a lot of negative comments over his four years with the Los Angeles Rams, but his next challenge will be to get through Vikings training camp with a job on Minnesota’s 53-man roster. A third round pick of the Rams in 2019 out of Oklahoma, Evans signed with the Vikings on Monday, just in time to report for training camp and compete for a job for former L.A. offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell.

Evans started four games for the Rams in 2022 following an unprecedented string of offensive line injuries.

The fact that Evans was a free agent for this long could be a telltale signs that the comments by fans hoping for better results were not entirely unfair.
