The Los Angeles Rams selected tight end Gerald Everett out of South Alabama with the 44th overall pick.

Everett’s skillset could make him a star in Los Angeles’ shiny new stadium.

He forced a ridiculous 24 missed tackles in 2016 (the most in all of the FBS).

On average, Everett forced a missed tackle over once in every two receptions (56 in 108 catches) over the past three years.

Everett’s 2.31 yards per route run ranks fifth in the class while his 2.07 YPPR from the slot ranks third.

His numbers split away from the formation are particularly impressive, Everett caught 29 passes (fourth in the class) for 418 yards third in the class) when offset.

While undersized at 6-foot-3 and 239 pounds, Everett gave up just 1 sack and 0 QB hits in 125 total pass-blocking reps between 2014 and 2016.
