Kevin Everett Update

Kevin Everett, tight end - Despite his solid blocking and good production late last season in limited opportunities, there are many in Buffalo who aren't enthralled by starting tight end Robert Royal. That's where Everett, the team's third-round pick in 2005, comes in. The 6-4, 253-pounder didn't have much of a career with the Miami Hurricanes, but he entered the NFL with plenty of potential. However, after missing his first season because of a knee injury, Everett was healthy in time for 2006 but finished the year with just one reception.

If the athletic 25-year-old finally starts to turn the corner this summer, it would provide yet another offensive weapon and a multidimensional threat for Losman (Everett has the speed to get downfield). In the process, Everett would form a very good one-two punch at TE with Royal, who is primarily a short-yardage man. Should Everett remain in neutral, though, he'll likely get his walking papers from Jauron soon enough, thus paving the way for Brad Cieslak and Ryan Neufeld to serve as Royal's backups.
