Two former App State football players running back Darrynton Evans and kicker Chandler Staton signed new contracts with professional football teams.
Evans signed with the Indianapolis Colts after working out with the team Friday morning. The former third-round pick played for the Tennessee Titans in 2020-21 and the Chicago Bears in 2022. In his time in Chicago, Evans rushed for 64 yards in 14 attempts after being listed as the No. 3 running back on the depth chart. Now with the Colts, Evans is expected to compete for the backup job as Colts leading rusher Jonathan Taylor will be the starter in 2023.
