    so i’m wondering how big of an impact this guy can make in the coming year.

    read an article that predicts he’ll get the starting nod ahead with f higbee.

    7 best position battles on Rams' roster

    i guess i didn’t realize that he got the starting nod in both the nfc championship game and the superbowl?

    anyway pff rated him the fifth best tight end last year improving in both the run and pass game.

    and this is corroborated by reports from other sources as well as just plain seeing him in games.

    only going into his third season. he had some standout games last year. if he could just get a little more consistency, then the rams’ offense could be the best in the league?

    TE GERALD EVERETT, LOS ANGELES RAMS
    Gerald Everett played almost half the snaps that teammate Tyler Higbee did, but he outperformed him over the course of the season. Everett had the edge as a receiver in both yardage totals and grades, but it’s his improvement as a blocker that could elevate Everett’s playing time next season. After mustering 54.7 run-blocking grade in his rookie year, Everett ended the 2018 campaign with a run-blocking grade of 74.9 which far outpaced Higbee – who is typically considered the team’s blocking specialist.

    GERALD EVERETT, TE, LOS ANGELES RAMS
    2017 Overall Grade: 53.1

    2018 Overall Grade: 82.5

    Everett finished the 2018 season as our fourth-highest graded tight end, exactly one season after he ranked 50th out of 51 qualified tight ends as a struggling rookie. The Rams’ 2017 second-round pick caught 97.4% of the catchable passes thrown his way as an NFL sophomore after he hauled in just 70.8% of catchable passes as a rookie, and he showed tremendous improvement as a run blocker, as he ranked fourth in the league last season with a 76.3 run-blocking grade, a grade that was over 20.0 points higher than the 54.6 run-blocking grade he earned as a rookie.

    Initially I didn’t warm up to Everett. But if he ups his game, good for him and the Rams. Along with all the obvious skills he brings (including mismatch potentials), he has great run after the catch ability.

    Let a thousand Everetts bloom.

    and his blocking too.

    but yeah his athleticism after the catch is something else.
