Lee Evans was confident he could outrun the defensive backs placed in front of him.
What the speedy first-round draft pick from the University of Wisconsin couldn’t leave in his dust were the emotions bubbling inside of him at last weekend’s rookie orientation camp for the Buffalo Bills.
So many years had passed. So many obstacles had been hurdled. Now here he was. In the National Football League.
”It was exciting the first time putting on a professional uniform,” Evans, 23, said. “I can’t put it into words, that’s how much it means to me. It’s something I’ve set my sights on from Day 1, and finally now it’s a reality. Throughout the whole process, I learned to never take anything for granted, so just stepping out there on the field was a blessing for me. Now I’ve got to take advantage of it.”
