3rd Round: Kevin Everett


SDS

Recommended Posts

ANALYSIS

 

Positives … Has a big frame with good overall muscle development, long, thick arms, with broad shoulders, thick chest, good bubble and thick calves … Shows enough lateral range to avoid the jam and get upfield, possessing the quickness to easily get off the line of scrimmage … Can either power through the jam or use his swim move to escape … Can sink his hips and separate coming out of his breaks, doing a decent job of finding the soft spot to settle when working in the zone … Creates a nice underneath target, especially with his ability to separate and adjust through his routes … Has the arm length and ability to extend for the ball away from the body's frame … Has the speed to run under passes downfield, showing the body control to adjust and position in order to make the catch … Better when blocking on the move than from a stationary position, as he shows alertness picking up linebackers in the open field.

 

Negatives … Plays with adequate alertness, but needs time to digest plays … Plays with good effort, but you'd like to see more aggression in his play, especially as a blocker … He is a good open field blocker, but I question his in-line blocking technique … He leaves his feet too often and really needs to develop lower body strength, as he reaches with his hands, loses position and gets over-extended … Better on underneath routes, as he does not have the speed of a Jeremy Shockey for a vertical attack and does not get into position well in order to quickly turn upfield after the catch … Runs only adequate pass routes, as he tends to round his cuts and take soft angles to the ball … He is a big target in the middle and will compete for the ball, but can also lose concentration when he hears an oncoming defender, resulting in several drops … Not as active with his hands as he needs to be in order to sustain blocks and does not move his feet well, keeping his base too narrow when blocking on the edge … His weight loss during the 2004 season (251 before the year began, 240 after) is a concern, as he needs the additional bulk and strength in order to be effective as a blocker … He struggles to get a good push off the line in running situations due to marginal leg strength … Must do a better job of reading coverages and maintaining a relationship with the quarterback, as he fails to work his way back when the passer is in trouble.

 

INJURY REPORT

 

2004: Missed the Peach Bowl vs. Florida, the Senior Bowl and could not participate in the agility tests at the Combines after he separated his left shoulder in the third quarter of the regular season finale vs. Virginia Tech (12/04).

 

AGILITY

 

CAMPUS: 4.79 in the 40-yard dash … 32 7/8-inch arm length … 9 ½-inch hands … 12 Wonderlic score.

I think Kevin is underrated. He can make plays if you throw to him. It's unfortunate that he will miss the entire 2005 season. But hey. Considering how McGahee did after a year away, maybe that's a good omen since Kevin's also a Cane ;).
