Mike Evans The Next Jimmy Graham?

So I was painfully watching the Saints last night (Have Graham on my fantasy team) and his first touchdown catch in the end zone reminded me of the jump ball thrown to Evans in the A&M game. The more I thought about it, they have a few more things in common.
Both basketball players turned football players.
Both have short mobile QBs.
Both are nightmares for defenses even with double teams and in some cases quadruple teams (Evans)
You put the ball within 10 yards of either of them there is a good chance its going to be a catch.
It is obvious that Evans has the most upside in terms of NFL potential not only in the SEC but in the nation, but could he be as good as Graham or better? Keep in mind this kid has played football all of 3 years.

How big is Evans and can he block?

We'll find out.
Hear Evans has a daughter and is definitely leaving for the league.

Every receiver on our team blocks pretty well at least, have to with the type of offense and with Johnny in the backfield.

According to the commentators during the Bama game he is one of the if not the best WR blocker in the nation. Maybe his lack of speed he avergaes a 4.6 40. Will turn him into a Tight End once he is drafted. Not sure though.
