He tested out of the stratosphere at the combine. He basically tested against Evan Engram to a standstill. The problem I had with Everett was that his draft position was always based on potential.
He played 1 year of HS football after being a standout basketball player. He went on to play JuCo football for a year, then a year at Alabama-Birmingham and then 2 at South Alabama.
I had him as a willing blocker, but for whatever reason, the Rams don't run as much with Everett. I have no idea why, but if I were to guess, its because the Rams are not comfortable using him in that role.
He was never a good route runner, and his routes still leave a lot to be desired. Way too much rounding.
The last concern was a rumor that he couldn't digest a whole NFL playbook. Well, he sure couldn't in year 1. That seemed pretty obvious. He couldn't get on the field as a 2nd round pick and only Higbee in front of him. I really wonder if he is just thinking way too much and its getting in the way of his freakish speed and athleticism?
I was high on him (not as high as Alyo) but he is coming into year 3 and its time to get busy living or get busy dying. To quote Red from Shawshank.
