If this kid could show why we spent a first day pick on him, it would be huge for our offense.
Kevin Everett is a potential breakthrough performer for the Buffalo Bills this year.
The 6-foot-5, 255-pound tight end is one of the young players on the team who has the talent to become not just an average player but an impact player. He’s also at the point in his career, entering his second full season on the field and third overall, at which his breakthrough could happen.
The question is: Can a guy who caught one pass for 1 yard for the entire 2006 season make a big step forward?
The Bills have seen reason to be hopeful through the first six days of spring practices.
“We’ll see, but I’ve certainly liked what I’ve seen from Kevin Everett the past week,” said Bills offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild. “I really do. I think his whole demeanor, his attention to detail, it looks good. He just looks very comfortable, and when he’s comfortable he’s a very talented guy.” Everett was a third-round pick of the Bills in 2005 out of the University of Miami. He missed his entire first season because he tore up his knee on the first day of his rookie minicamp.
He was ready for training camp last summer, but it took him awhile to shake off the rust from his knee injury, and it took him longer to adjust to the Bills’ new offense.
