PrintAccording to Matt Jones (not that Matt Jones), Kentucky Wildcat defensive end DeQuin Evans is signing with the Cincinnati Bengals. [Note: Jones is the host of KSTV, writer for CBSSports.com and founder of KentuckySportsRadio.com]
Evans was listed as the SEC defensive linemen of week 11 against Vanderbilt, posting a combined sack and three tackles for loss.
Evans posted 7.5 quarterback sacks during two seasons with the Wildcats, only 1.5 quarterback sacks coming in 2010. According to his Kentucky athletic page, Evans was named a fourth-team All-SEC selection, leading Kentucky with 12.5 tackles for loss and six quarterback sacks.
CBSSports.com's Draft Page listed Evans as the 45th best defensive end during April's NFL Draft. They write: "Has good quickness and a high motor, a combination that often gets him into the opponent backfield."
Evans is the fourth undrafted free agent linked to the Cincinnati Bengals -- none have been announced.

We've got a lot of potential SLBs
Moch, Skuta, Muck played it a little, MJ has played it at times…hopefully this means MJ at DE full-time.

i dont think it means anything
The guys an udfa, not likely to make the team. I think the moch pick and the skuta praise means mj at de more than the signing of a udfa.

RE:
Don’t think just this year. Think beyond, ala practice squad.
