29. Alabama LB Rashaan Evans
6-foot-2, 233 pounds
Key stats: In six career FBS playoff-game appearances, including three championship games, Evans racked up 38 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 1.5 tackles for loss — despite not starting the first two.
The skinny: Auburn, Alabama native and five-star recruit risked his and his family’s welfare (we wish we were kidding) by going to play for the Crimson Tide. He got on the field extensively as a freshman but mostly on special teams, where Evans made his impact felt with a team-best 12 tackles; Evans also pitched in as a reserve on defense with 15 tackles, including two for losses.
