Last summer, Jordan Evans summed up his life, and his career as a linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals in a few short words.
“It is about taking steps,” Evans said. “Hopefully the steps are in the right direction. You can’t expect anything, but you can only hope for it.”
A sixth-round selection of the Bengals in the 2017 NFL Draft, Evans’ career so far has been all about hope—hoping for a chance to contribute, hoping for a chance to start.
Evans is set to become an unrestricted free agent for the first time this month.
