I hope youre right.
I remember reading nearly the identical break down of Quick.
That, in and of itself, means nothing of course.

Just look at all the Youtubes posted. The mental part and mind set are polar opposites. Everett has attitude that shows game in spades. Brain quick had none.

Two-year starter and transfer from Alabama-Birmingham after they dropped footy. From Lithonia, GA. An athletic multiple alignment receiver where the team doesn't have to change personnel. Has the speed to exploit linebacker match-ups. An H-back type who is effective on crossers, seams and bubble screens. Dependable and consistent hands snatching the ball in traffic. Good body control to adjust off target passes. Won't turn down an opportunity to crack back on safeties or linebackers. The smooth over has good body control and change of direction. Wins his share of 50/50 balls. Competitive. Has been productive the last two years for the Jaguars, catching 90 passes good for 1221 yards and 13 touchdowns. Started his career at Hutchinson Community College (KS) then transferred to UAB. Needs to elevate his skill as a route runner and as an inline blocker. Good effort in the run game as a downfield screen off typemblocker. Also stays in to mirror defensive ends in pass pro. A sub package contributor at this point but has the talent to give more. Small hands for a tight end. 2016 stats 49-717, 14.6 your, 4 TD. fourth/fifth round

Curious to hear about Everett's football IQ, Brian Quick was only smarter than Ray Ray Armstrong
He is a bit raw as he was a basketball player. Has the catching instincts but, lacks the precision in route running. Got to think McVay and Snead looked into his football IQ or ability to grasp the concepts. Washington's Jordan Reed was a option QB which helped run the option routes in McVay's offense. Seems Everett is capable. Seems like he is just scratching the surface of his football abilties.

4. GERALD EVERETT, South Alabama (6-3, 240, 4.59, 2): Will be the first draftee in program’s eight-year history. “He’s got some rarities post-catch,” said one scout. “Eric Ebron had a little bit of that out of North Carolina. I don’t know if he’ll ever be an in-line ‘Y’ guy but he is competitive. Does the search-and-seal stuff. He’s that big flex slot teams are looking for now. He can probably be a 250-pound guy. He’s lean but broad-shouldered and tapered. Looks the part.” More of a basketball player in Decatur, Ga.; didn’t play football until his senior year. “Smart kid (Wonderlic of 24), works hard but not a weight-room guy,” said another scout. “The only thing that holds me back is he’s got smallish hands (8 ½).” Finished with 107 catches for 1,584 (14.8) and 13 TDs. Played two years in junior college and behind ex-Packers TE Kennard Backman at Alabama-Birmingham in ’14 before transferring.
Good post. I don't think the complete and utter lack of offensive coaching under Fisher can be overstated.
Good. We need intelligent players. Kupp is intelligent (37 on the Wonderlic). He'll be ready to play Day 1. Hopefully, Everett is ready to contribute fairly early on too.

Julius Thomas is a great TE... he's a converted Basketball player...

I hope so as well.
Our TE group is incredibly inexperienced. We need Higbee to start off strong as well
Brian Quick was actually Alshon Jeffrey in a common sense non Fisher alternate universe.
But I like to think of him as the Cordy Glenn who never was.
At least under McVay we immediately have a real Left Tackle finally.
