There wasn't a thread on Mike Evans, so here we go.
I'll start by squashing the notion that Evans doesn't have enough speed. Here he is burning LSU CB Rashad Robinson who ran a career best 10.46 100m.

He's not Mike Wallace, but his combination of size and strength and subtle moves will allow him to regularly get open downfield.
There may be a number of people who will label him "stiff" and question his ability to "sink the hips". Well, Demaryius Thomas wasn't exactly the polished route runner when he came into the league: http://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2012/12/04/influenced-by-excellence-demaryius-thomas/

Evans probably won't and shouldn't be asked to run square ins/outs or comebacks a lot in the NFL.
