In an article on the official Buffalo Bills website from 2012, Everett was interviewed in a story titled "Kevin Everett Five Years Later". "These five years shot by so fast, it's unbelievable, to tell you the truth," Everett told Buffalobills.com. "They've been fast because I've been staying busy. I'm glad people still remember me," he said. "I wish they could remember me for making touchdowns and making big plays for the Bills, but they still remember me as a person and what I went through in my life. So I very much appreciate that and I love every fan out there that supports me." While the desire to play still flares up from time to time, it doesn't keep Everett from getting close to the game.
