'21 OH TE Mitchell Evans (Notre Dame Signee)

[Old Man Mike]

"sickos"? New street slang? Someone interpret for this old-time English user --- is this good or bad?

 

[NDPhilly]

If he gets his 2023 athleticism back, he should be a top 3 round pick. He was terrific in 23 pre-injury and finally started looking more like himself in the playoffs.

It's basically used in place of "fanatics". Meaning people who are so obsessed with something that they consume all of the content possible. I would say the great majority of this board would qualify as Notre Dame Football "sickos". Generally has a positive connotation in my opinion, at least among other "sickos".

 

[AKRowdy]

I mean if Brock Wright can have a nice career in the NFL, so should Evan’s. No shot at Brock either but Evan’s is much better.

 

[Bantry19]

Hell look at the career Durham Smythe is having.

 

[Dale]

His 2024 play weight versus combine weight I predict will be vastly different

 

[Old Man Mike]

I'm not sure that any of our old TEs have shown that they can BLOCK like Brock. THAT's what gets him his salary.

Exactly

 

[Dale]

Cooper Flanagan is probably closest to Brock Wright. He was recruited to block.

His injury + Sherwood being gone means Ty Washington goes from afterthough to one of your most important transfers, because Raridon isn’t your run blocker. Can’t expect it from Larsen. Flanigan a freshman.

Lower for the combine I presume

 

[BobbyMac]

I think this guy over performs on Sundays. I'm gonna go pre-injury John Carlson floor

 

[rtrn2glory]

He didn't look the same after the knee injury IMO. I think he improved as he knocked the rust off but hopefully he checks out medically and has a good pre draft process so he gets a good shot

That's fair, knee and ankle injuries often take time to come back from, if you ever do. Look at Chubb this year for the Browns, it's harder the older you are. Lets not forget that, while he got better throughout the year, Leonard wasn't quite as polished of a passer as Hartman. So, Evans wasn't going to get the ball quite as often as he did the previous year.

 

[Dale]

Why is blud still so big

 

[NDPhilly]

They only had ab a month, wonder what he’ll show up at at the pro day.

You can shed some of the baby fat he has in days.

He’s the biggest TE I have seen, and I don’t think his ideal profile matches that. Warren for example I am less surprised is 256.

He was likely playing at over 260 then

 

[Dale]

 

[Dale]

Not jump off the page at any one but was solid at all the agility stuff. Would call today a win for sure

 

[NDPhilly]

Very solid time at that size, finally looks healthy

 

[KPENN]

It’s a shame his freshman year was wasted. It would have been nice to have him back

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

He's going to severely outplay his draft position.
Hopefully on the Jets.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Not sure what his goals were obviously but I would consider his performance a win as well.

Big body and showed he's got some athleticism

 

[Dale]

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Great value in the 5th. I'm hoping he recovers his athleticism after the injury.

 

[KPENN]

Really wish they didn’t burn his redshirt to run QB sneaks, he would have been nice to have back, but here we are

Regardless it was probably the right time for him to go. It's not like he went undrafted.

 

[NDPhilly]

I think if he regained him 2023 athleticism he could have been a round 2-3 pick. Started to show it again in the playoffs.

He was so damn effective running them though. Actually surprised we didn't continue to see Mitchaplooza after Rees left.

Parker threw out what worked with the Rees offense and implemented a bunch of bullshit. The dude sat Estime on the final drive against OSU after he rattled off a 10 yard run and OSU's defense was gassed...instead threw a damn screen pass which was not our strong suit and it stopped the clock.

 

[Dale]

DMC had control of RB substitutions
