LA Rams took him in the second round, #44 overall.

Congrats to him. Great football player and even better person. Rams got a good one.

High pick! Congrats!

For those interested, you can go here and watch the video of him getting drafted and what they said about him:

What's the highest drafted Sun Belt pick ever? Has to be up there.

Brian Quick from App got drafted 33rd overall but we weren't in the conference yet so I wouldn't count that.

I believe DeMarcus Ware was #11 overall.

Ah. Yeah that'll probably be it then.

Leodis McKelvin and DeMarcus Ware are both tied for that honor. Ware was #11 overall in 2005 and McKelvin was #11 in 2008.

Completely forgot about McKelvin.

And this would be why that TE we were hot on flipped to USA a couple of years ago.

We also don't throw to TE's....so that might have something to do with it as well.

Congratulations to Everett.

Nice one jags!

So glad for him. And he is going to a team with a young QB so you know he is going to get lots of dump offs.
Now I have a reason to tune into crappy LAR games!

We now have 3 TE's in the NFL.
Sexton, Bowman, and Everett.

Congrats to GE! Not to hijack his thread but are Jags fans expecting former grad transfer, Scelfo, to be selected? I was a fan of JS. Unfortunately, I'm sure the pundits will give NCSU the credit.

I am hoping so.

He is a great player.
I honestly think he would have a better shot if he had stayed put. He would have been highlighted more here.

But that could be my homer showing.

Very cool for the Jags and the Belt.

Good for GE! That makes three USA NFL players now, with (ironically) two other TE's; Braedon Bowman, Jets and Wes Saxton, Steelers. Just call us "Tight End U".

One of my least favorite moments of the season, below. I knew how you guys play up to opponents and down to everyone else, so this really was not a good feeling. Glad it worked out in the end though.

Huge congrats to Everett. The NFL's getting a monster talent.
