1975 Rookie Profile: Everett Taylor

Cornerback
9th Round
Memphis State
"A three-year starter for the Tigers, Taylor 'covers both zone and man-to-man well ... great speed, very fluid,' say the scouts. He saw action in the Blue-Grey Game and in the America Bowl.
Everett had a total of 85 tackles, 34 assists and 20 deflected passes in his career. He also had three fumble recoveries, two blocked punts and eight interceptions for 79 yards (9.9 average).
He also competed in track for three years at Memphis State. Everett was a member of the NCAA championship 440 relay team and set a Memphis State 440 dash record.
His brother Cliff is a running back for the Chicago Bears. His hometown is Memphis, Tennessee."
