Jahri Evans was unique in that he didn’t play competitive football until high school, and what a career he would have!
Evans was a fourth-round pick from Bloomsburg University in 2006 by the New Orleans Saints. He played right guard and won the starting role in training camp. Part of the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl XLIV Championship Team, Evans spent 11 years with the Saints, earning six Pro Bowl selections, four First-Team All-Pro selections, and a spot on the 2010s All-Decade Team. Evans was one of the best pure blockers in his era, using his speed and wingspan to carve out holes for his rushers and protect Drew Brees. How many Saints wins can be attributed to Evans' work in the trenches? A lot!
Overall, Evans started all 183 of his NFL Games, an incredible feat from a terrific football player.
