Joel Evans brings rare explosiveness to Miami’s backfield
Miami’s Joel Evans is a compact, high-upside running back whose standout traits are verified athletic pop and lower-body power: as a walk-on, he reportedly posted a 550-pound squat, a 35.5-inch vertical, and a 4.63-second 40-yard dash. That profile matters because it suggests he can create extra yards through burst and contact balance, not just raw speed. At 5-6 and 185 pounds, he projects as a toughness-and-quickness fit who could add value if your team needs a player with measurable explosiveness, competitive edge, and developmental upside.
