This summer, Brian Iwuh got to know Kevin Everett better while helping him at his youth football camp in Everett's hometown of Port Arthur, Texas.

Iwuh also is from that area, and both players have Brian Overstreet as an agent. As Everett did in Week 1 for the Buffalo Bills, Iwuh will perform special-teams duty against the Broncos on Sunday. Everett is on the mind of Iwuh, a former University of Colorado linebacker, as he prepares to play in Denver.

Everett was severely injured while tackling Broncos kick returner Domenik Hixon in the third quarter at Buffalo on Sept. 9.

"Kevin is a real cool dude, and it's real tough to see what happened to him," Iwuh said. "It looks like he is getting better. I sure hope so."

Although initially paralyzed, Everett is making progress. Like Everett, Iwuh specializes in making tackles on special teams and has become one of the Jaguars' better players on that unit. While Everett's injury makes Iwuh think about the danger, he said he can't afford to lose any of his edge.

"You look at the play in which Kevin was hurt, and it looked normal to me," Iwuh said. "But it's a position where you have to be reckless."

Iwuh's special-teams prowess has earned him a career in the NFL. He wasn't drafted in 2006. After Iwuh started his rookie season on the practice squad, Jacksonville put him on the 53-man roster and he finished with 10 special-teams tackles. He is a stalwart on the unit this year.
