In retrospect, Jim Everett got a bad rap. He feuded with Jim Rome (who labeled him "Chris" in reference to his play comparing him to the female player, Chris Evert), the Rams gave up a lot for his rights, and he had an overall losing record.
Jack Pardee was the 14th overall pick in 1957, and the Texas A&M Aggie would be a fixture at Linebacker for the Rams for 13 years. Pardee played 169 for Los Angeles, starting 150 of them. In 1963 he would be named a First Team All-Pro as well as being named to the Pro Bowl. He managed to secure 17 Interceptions for the Rams, a good number for a Linebacker.
