Career with the Steelers
Everette, who played collegiate football at Georgia (2022-2025), was drafted by the Steelers with the 85th overall pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He quickly exceeded expectations at practice for Pittsburgh and could be primed for a big role as a rookie.
What's next in 2026?
Everette wasted little time impressing all the right people on the Steelers' coaching staff, as he earned a top backup cornerback job per the team's first 2026 depth chart. With more questions than answers surrounding the future of Joey Porter Jr. in Pittsburgh, it wouldn't be surprising if Everette was thrust into a huge role early.
