Evans is a small back with 4.5 speed who was a sixth round draft pick last season. In 10 games with the Rams last year, he gained just 19 yards on nine carries, then failed to make their roster this season. The Jets worked him out three weeks ago.
In two years of preseason action, Evans has racked up 249 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns but only averaged 3.3 yards per carry.
