Question
What current player has finished with a career-high number of catches and receiving yards in each of his first six seasons? He’s a tight end, and he played his college football at South Alabama.
Answer
Gerald Everett. One other player has done this in the last 50 years – Chris Callaway. Two other tight ends have caught no passes in their first season, then finished with career highs in catches and yards in six straight seasons: Steven Heiden and Robert Royal. None of those players were able to finish with career highs in catches or yards in a seventh straight season. (For Everett to become the first, he’ll need to exceed 58 catches for 555 yards.)
