Evans, who missed the first month of practice in May due to an injured hamstring, is now hitting the workout field with the goal of dropping seven to 10 pounds prior to the start of training camp coming up in a couple of weeks. Evans is apparently working out with Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who has been known to be a hard worker off the field.
Evans had this to say regarding his current physical condition per Buccaneers 101..
I’ve got to lose more weight. I’m too heavy right now. But the workouts I’ve been doing, I’ll be fine. I’ll be ready.
It sounds like the first-round pick out of Texas A&M is much more dedicated to preparing for training camp than other former Texas A&M players. We will just leave it at that.
