How chasing horses, country life shaped Titans' Rashaan Evans

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Aladdin is much faster than you, but maybe one day you'll catch him. That thought ran through Tennessee Titans linebacker Rashaan Evans' head day after day, week after week, year after year while growing up on his family's ranch in the deep country woods of Auburn, Alabama.

The Evans brothers essentially had a farm lifestyle, living on 5 acres of open land with unfenced woods covering much more ground. They raised chickens, ducks, rabbits, birds, dogs, cats, other foreign animals and even hosted coyotes that would sometimes kill the chickens.
