Durham (N.C.) Riverside High senior running back Joel Evans was no stranger to generating video game statistics. After all, he already had a pair of 230-yard games this season. But Friday night was different. In fact, nobody's seen anything quite like it.
That's 34.9 yards per carry, and that's ridiculous. Just 5-foot-6, 175 pounds, Evans scored on runs of 66, 36, 43, 81, 67 and 56 yards. Yup, his shortest touchdown run was 36 yards.

 

Those are some insane numbers.

That's crazy.

Does anyone remember that kid from Kannapolis who had something like 48 rushing TDs, several punt return TDs and a handful of receiving TDs... in one year?

He went to FSU then I don't think he ever got off the practice squad in the NFL.

-just shows how great NFL athletes are

You're talking about Nick Maddox. I watched him destroy my high school's Northwest Cabarrus Trojans. Beat them like 96-6 back in 2000 or something. He had talent. Ran around everybody. Not sure what happened to him. My guess is that he just peaked early.

    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan. 
    • Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it
    • I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
