Justin Evans played safety with abandon at Texas A&M, going full-speed all the time. As soon as he made it to the NFL, however, he had to put on the brakes.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked Evans in the second round of the 2017 draft. He joined his fellow rookies for a mini-camp at One Buccaneer Place the following weekend, then returned the next week for the start of the team's OTA practices. However, he was quickly sidelined by a knee injury and only got in a little bit of work in June before being shut down until training camp.
