Summary
Daylen Everette is a physical, aggressive cornerback who plays with the hard-hitting mentality of a linebacker. He excels in zone coverage and at the line of scrimmage, where he uses his strength to disrupt receivers and shut down short passes. While he possesses the long speed to carry vertical routes, he’s at his best moving forward to attack the ball and wrap up ball carriers in space.

Steelers' Daylen Everette: Grabbed by Steelers
The Steelers selected Everette in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 85th overall.
Everette (6-foot-1, 196 pounds) put together quality tape as a three-year starter for Georgia and did additional favors to his draft stock at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he logged a 4.38-second 40-yard dash time. Pittsburgh is well-stocked at cornerback, with Joey Porter having been joined by Jamel Dean in free agency, and Asante Samuel re-signing as a capable depth option. While Everette could have difficulty earning a consistent role early in his NFL career, he also may receive the luxury of a developmental window to realize the upside provided by his speed and frame.
