In four years at Notre Dame, tight end Mitchell Evans was not extremely productive, totaling 77 catches for 903 yards and five touchdowns. But the Panthers drafted him in the fifth round because they think he can do a lot in their offense, and after rookie minicamp they felt even more confident about that.
Canales said he and tight ends coach Pat McPherson saw Evans doing things at rookie minicamp that told them he’ll have a versatile role in their offense.
‘What carries over from the film is just a really versatile guy,” Canales said, via Panthers.
