Alabama Football: Rashaan Evans in Dallas waiting for 1st round call

Getting an invite to the opening night of the NFL Draft is a good omen for former Alabama football player, Rashaan Evans. The NFL only invites players with a good chance to be chosen in the first round.

Rashaan is not quite a first-round draft lock but his name should be called Thursday night. NFL expert Mike Mayock only has Evans rated as the third-best linebacker in the draft. Mayock rates Roquan Smith of Georgia and Tremaine Edmunds of Virginia Tech above Rashaan.

Evans is generally projected to be selected in the 20’s on draft night.
