Heading into the 2019 season, it looked like Chris Evans had the perfect opportunity to be the starting running back for the Michigan football team.
Karan Higdon was graduating and despite the growth of Christian Turner and the immense potential of incoming freshman Zach Charbonnet, with his talent and experience, the job would have been Evans to lose.
At the very least, Evans was going to play a role at running back for Michigan football. Whether that was as the starter, a change-of-pace guy or whatever. He is someone with speed that if he’s on the team, needs the ball in space, not only through handoffs but dump passes and swing routes.
