James Samuel Everett III (born January 3, 1963) is a retired professional American football quarterback who played for twelve seasons in the National Football League (NFL). Everett attended Purdue University and was selected in the first round of the 1986 NFL Draft. He was selected as the third pick in the first round by the Houston Oilers, and was the first quarterback taken that year. Unable to work out a contract agreement with Everett, the Oilers traded his rights to the Los Angeles Rams, with whom Everett played from 1986 to 1993. He then played with the New Orleans Saints from 1994 to 1996 and ended his career with a stint with the San Diego Chargers in 1997. ==College career== Purdue University recruited Everett out of Eldorado High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which he led, in the 1980 season, to the school's only state championship. In addition to quarterbacking the team, he also played defense as a safety. Recruited to play either safety or quarterback, he was soon slotted into the quarterback role where he narrowly missed out on being a four-year starter at Purdue, as a game day decision before his first game as a freshman led to Scott Campbell getting the nod over Everett. Campbell held off Everett for three years, one of which Everett was able to redshirt to gain an extra year of eligibility. Upon Campbell's graduation to a seven-year career in the NFL, Everett took over the reins of the pass-oriented Boilermaker offense. As a junior, Everett led the Boilermakers to the 1984 Peach Bowl, where he passed for 253 yards and three touchdowns. Purdue lost the game to Virginia, quarterbacked by future Green Bay Packer Don Majkowski, 27–24.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Purdue Boilermakers Bowl Bound )〕 Everett is also the only Purdue quarterback to ever beat Michigan, Notre Dame, and Ohio State all in the same season. During the 1985 season, Everett led the NCAA in total offense (3,589 yards), which at the time was a school record (since broken by Drew Brees). He finished sixth in balloting for the 1985 Heisman Trophy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=1985 Heisman Trophy Voting )〕 Everett earned regular membership on the Distinguished Students list at Purdue, and graduated with a degree in industrial management. During his time at Purdue, Everett regularly tutored fellow Purdue athletes in courses such as calculus and statistical analysis. He was also initiated into the Sigma Chi fraternity during his time as an undergraduate. During his senior year he was awarded the Big Ten Medal of Honor in recognition of his athletic and academic achievements.〔(CONFERENCE MEDAL OF HONOR WINNERS )〕 *1984: 3,256 yards with 18 TD vs 16 INT in 11 games. *1985: 3,651 yards with 23 TD vs 11 INT in 11 games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jim Everett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
