Running Back
No. 31
USC
"Evans has had hard luck with the Giants, suffering broken legs in two campaigns after he had won a starting role at fullback each season. A No. 14 draft choice, he had 171 yards rushing and scored five touchdowns in 1971 before breaking a leg. In 1972, he had 317 yards for a 3.5 average and five more touchdowns when he broke his leg halfway through the season, and also had 26 receptions in those seven games. Last year, he appeared in but five games, gaining 77 yards rushing and catching 13 passes.
He has twice scored three touchdowns in one game- against San Diego in 1971 and against New Orleans in 1972. Evans is a strong runner, outstanding blocker and tough competitor and is now recovered from his leg problems.
Charlie lettered for two seasons in USC after beginning his collegiate career at Utah. At USC, he was primarily a blocking back and had only 117 carries for 479 yards in his two campaigns.
Evans was born in Gardena, California and starred at Gardenia High School. He now lives in Rockaway, New Jersey."
