During the 2017 NFL Draft, the first pick Sean McVay ever made as head coach of the Los Angeles Rams turned out to be Gerald Everett following an impressive career at South Alabama.
When looking at some of the other team needs the Rams were hoping to fill at the time, tight end wasn’t exactly a top priority, and it was debatable whether Los Angeles would have been better off going with someone else besides Everett.
Despite appearing in every game for the Rams over his first two NFL seasons, Everett didn’t see as much action in the passing game, mainly due to the fact that Jared Goff had plenty of other reliable weapons to work with ranging from Todd Gurley to Robert Woods.
