Darrynton Evans Bio
Darrynton Evans is an American football running back who entered the NFL after a standout career at Appalachian State. As of September 14, 2026, NFL.com lists Evans as an unrestricted free agent rather than a member of an active NFL roster. His documented NFL affiliations include the Tennessee Titans, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins at different points between 2020 and 2024; those past affiliations do not establish current employment.
Evans attended Appalachian State, where he developed from a contributor and return specialist into a featured running back. The school recognized him as a two-time first-team All-Sun Belt selection, the 2019 Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year, a two-time Sun Belt Championship Game MVP and the MVP of the 2019 New Orleans Bowl. He was known for explosive running ability, versatility as a receiver and kick-return experience.
The Tennessee Titans selected Evans in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft with the 93rd overall pick. Appalachian State listed him at 5 feet 11 inches during his college career, and an NFL media guide lists his birth date as July 9, 1998. His professional profile has centered on open-field quickness, receiving ability and return versatility rather than a single-role running-back identity.
