veteran Houston linebacker with proven tackling juice and coverage chops
Everett Daniels was a productive Houston linebacker in the 2012 season, starting 11 of 12 games and finishing with 112 tackles, 8 pass breakups, 2 sacks at Marshall, and a career-high 18 tackles against Tulsa. That stat line screams active, disruptive, and assignment-sound: he can thump downhill, survive in space, and make quarterbacks pay for testing his zone. The bigger appeal is his playmaking edge at linebacker, especially for a defense that values coverage versatility and tackle volume. If you want a tone-setting middle linebacker, Daniels fit the bill beautifully in that 2012 Cougar season.
