Jevon Kearse (born September 3, 1976), nicknamed "the Freak", is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end for eleven seasons in the National Football League (NFL) during the late 1990s and 2000s. Kearse played college football for the Florida Gators, earning All-American honors and was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 1998.
Kearse was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the first round pick of the 1999 NFL draft. He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles for four seasons between his two stints with the Titans. During his first five years with the Titans, he was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1999. His speed (4.43-second 40-yard dash) and 86-inch (220 cm) wingspan, coupled with a 37-inch (94 cm) vertical leap, greatly impressed coaches and earned him the nickname "The Freak".[1]
