Round 2 Pick 44: Gerald Everett, TE

[Soul Surfer]

Maybe Everett and Reynolds have enzyme problems.

Not an Everett fan? Just watch this video:

His balance alone could turn him into an elite player at his position.

On some of those runs after catch his balance is reminiscent of the Gurley Man---like Todd in slow motion.

He isn't far from Njoku. And by stats he is fairing pretty well. He isn't high and he isn't low. He is right in the middle.

Some people make a big deal about his small hands and him dropping a lot of passes, but 7% drop rate isn't terrible and it's actually better than Evan Engram.

4. GERALD EVERETT, South Alabama (6-3, 240, 4.59, 2): Will be the first draftee in program’s eight-year history. “He’s got some rarities post-catch,” said one scout. “Eric Ebron had a little bit of that out of North Carolina. I don’t know if he’ll ever be an in-line ‘Y’ guy but he is competitive. Does the search-and-seal stuff. He’s that big flex slot teams are looking for now. He can probably be a 250-pound guy. He’s lean but broad-shouldered and tapered. Looks the part.” More of a basketball player in Decatur, Ga.; didn’t play football until his senior year. “Smart kid (Wonderlic of 24), works hard but not a weight-room guy,” said another scout. “The only thing that holds me back is he’s got smallish hands (8 ½).” Finished with 107 catches for 1,584 (14.8) and 13 TDs. Played two years in junior college and behind ex-Packers TE Kennard Backman at Alabama-Birmingham in ’14 before transferring.

Austin is Jackson and Kupp is Crowder

Slow day....

His missed tackle rate is why the Rams coveted him so much I think. Going back to their board with the word EXPLOSIVE written all over it, that is something they considered as part of an explosive player definition and he stands out like crazy in that particular stat.

Just got done watching his interview. He seems like a real competitor that's very bright (I think he might be the smartest player on our team).

Hoping for big things for this awesome kid!
