Port Arthur's Kevin Everett Walking on his Own

[Guest abovetherim]

HOUSTON (AP) - Injured Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett is

walking on his own at a Houston rehab center.

That's what a person close to the Everett family tells The

Associated Press.

The person says Everett has been walking under his own power

since his release from the rehab center three weeks ago and is now

an outpatient -- with daily rehab sessions.

It's the latest significant progress by the Port Arthur native

during his remarkable recovery from a serious spinal cord injury

suffered in Buffalo's season-opener.

Doctors initially feared he'd never walk again after what was

described as a life-threatening injury while making a tackle

against Denver.

Everett was paralyzed from the neck down when he arrived at a

Buffalo hospital -- even spending a few days on life support.

He was later transferred to a hospital in Houston, where he has

his offseason home.

Now, this is one man after his condition is improved I'd approach about a coaching position at Lamar. If he didn't graduate from Miami, I attempt to have him complete his degree and then offer a coaching position. I heard he is great with young people!
