2025 Fantasy Outlook
Evans was scooped up by the Panthers in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after posting 421 yards and three TDs in 16 games for Notre Dame in 2024. That production was disappointing considering he needed only eight games to rack up 422 yards in 2023. Carolina’s an intriguing landing spot for the 6-foot-5, 253-pound TE given the team’s lack of established talent at the position, though 2024 fourth-round pick Ja’Tavion Sanders has more pass catching upside than Evans, and Tommy Tremble’s a better blocker. Evans doesn’t have any glaring holes in his game, which could help him earn a role on offense out of the gate, but separating from NFL defenders will be tough with his underwhelming 4.72 speed.

Goes to Carolina in fifth round
The Panthers selected Evans in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 163rd overall.
ANALYSIS
Evans struggled to stay on the field due to injuries during his four-year career at Notre Dame, but he managed to play in 16 games (11 starts) for the Fighting Irish in 2024 and finished with 43 catches for 421 yards and three touchdowns. He split his snaps between the slot and inline positions and would consistently win through contact to grab difficult throws, though his lack of production in the red zone is an area he'll need to work on to earn more snaps at the NFL level. Evans joins a Panthers tight end room headlined by Ja'Tavion Sanders and Tommy Tremble.

ANALYSIS
