Blazer Names to Know: #13 Will Evans

Starting CB Will Evans is another experienced defensive player that looks to contribute heavily in the upcoming season. Though listed at backup at the start of the '04 season, Evans was thrust into the starting role after starter Carlos Hendricks was lost to injury early on. He finished that season with 49 tackles (35 solo hits), two interceptions (one that was returned 30 yards for a TD against Cincinnati), and two pass break ups. Last season saw the return of Hendricks at starter, but Evans still saw significant action in 10 of the 11 games, finishing with 27 tackles (12 solo), one interception, and one pass break up.
