Nuncha Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anybody hear how Kevin Everett is doing these days? Hard to believe it has been nearly 5 years since he suffered that horrific neck injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondslider Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) http://www.buffalonews.com/spotlight/article550571.ece This is the most recent story that I know of, from last September. Basically he is doing ok, but his life is still a struggle. Edited August 5, 2012 by Pondslider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinWPB Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) NoSaint: Excellent find...A+++++++ What a terrific story and video. Amazing how his 30th birthday party was entirely "Bills" themed. Happy for Kevin he was able to fight threw it all and come out the man he appears to be. Sad the Bills lost the player he was on his way to becoming.

3rd and One Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Man, Kev looks great! He was a truly inspirational story for all of us 5 years, and still is. Looking at those pictures, it really is an amazing feat that he conquered. To think, he can hold and carry his little girls is enough to know that life is pretty awesome!

Yea - great to see he is doing as well as possible. Would be great to see him walk onto the field again someday to get the fans and team fired up.

ajzepp Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Agree with 3rd...seeing him be able to stand and hold his kids is really a beautiful sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Absolutely. My god I remember how sick to my stomach I was that day. I know he is going to dela with medical issues his whole life, but what a fighter to make it walking again, and functioning with his family. I hope he comes back to Buffalo when he's ready for a game, training camp, etc. He's d be awesome at the rookie symposium for the NFL talking about how precious their opportunities are and don't squander it. Lastly, I'm so glad to see the NFL and Buffalo helped to get him the max in his retirement, as he may have escalating medical needs down the road if he still has issues with numbness, seizures, and nausea. Thanks to all who came up with these posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Smith's Arm Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm not very sentimental, but you would have to have a heart of stone, to not feel a wave of emotion when you see Everett with his daughters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Very cool and very moving. It really was nice that he and his family still feel a connection with the Bills. It would be great if he came back for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I was at that game. Believe me, I'm right with ya on that! Same here... I was at the game wondering why the Hell an ambulance was on the field and couldn't wait for the game to start again and when I went home and watched the game again and saw what happened to Everett, I smacked myself like, you impatient idiot... It's a Blessing he can walk when doctors said he wouldn't... God Bless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's a Blessing he can walk when doctors said he wouldn't... God Bless... Better yet, his daughters look to be under 5 years old... Something else is working! ;-) Just kidding, walking is very important! Way to go! Great story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 http://lmgtfy.com/?q...erett wiki#seen That actually wasn't that helpful. google search fails on this given topic to give a glimpse into Kevin's current life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanCity Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Kevin will forever be an inspiration to every Bills fan and every person that knows his story. When so many people would have given up, layed down and let life pass them by, he showed that heart, perseverance and an undying commitment to beat the odds can enable you to overcome most anything. The fact that he is standing and holding his daughters is better than winning the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl hasn't ever given back life to a man who almost had it stolen away.
