Kearse was born to Joseph and Lessie Mae Kearse. (Pronounced 'Curse') Joseph Kearse led a life of crime, and was murdered shortly before Jevon's birth. When Jevon was a toddler, his grandfather was shot down in front of his house. That same year his cousin Danny was killed. Another cousin, Marcell, died in prison. Kearse had an older brother, J.J., and a younger half-brother, Jermaine
Jevon learned how to stay clear of trouble and found that school was a way out. His brother, J.J., started to hang out with a rough crowd. Jevon didn't follow in his footsteps and devoted his time to football. He was the star of the Lee Middle School team
After his 2003 campaign, he was unable to get a new deal with the Titans after his contract expired, and was a restricted free agent. Looking for an anchor at DE, the Philadelphia Eagles signed Jevon for an unheard of eight-year, $65 million contract, more than any lineman before him
Jevon played well with the Eagles in 2004, although his tackles and sacks numbers were not as high as usual. He was, however, a force to be dealt with and one of the main priorities to every offensive line coach who played against the dominating Eagles
Philadelphia had a tremendous season that year, winning thirteen of their first fourteen games, losing only to the Pittsburgh Steelers in mid-season. They finished the season with a 13-3 record and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs
Jevon's skills would be put to the test when the Eagles were to square off against Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons. Vick, who is the most mobile quarterback in the league, posed a real threat out of the pocket
Defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles Jim Johnson called upon Kearse to adapt in a totally different environment, where his main objective was to keep Vick in the pocket. This would leave the quarterback to make a play with his arm instead of his legs. Jevon had played every position from free safety to linebacker in his years in college, but now he had to see if he could spy the QB through the majority of the game
Michael Vick suffered that day, completing only 11 of 24 passes and with an interception, and being kept at just twenty-six yards rushing. This game sealed an NFC championship win, the one game that Philadelphia had lost in their last three consecutive seasons. Jevon's versatility gave the Eagles what they needed to get to the big game, he delivered a sack in that game and had 2 tackles. The Eagles defense, namely the 3 big key players, Kearse (who pressured Vick greatly), Dawkins (who made a key interception that made sure momentum would stay on the Eagles, and created pressure on Eagle Blitzes), and Jeremiah Trotter (Trotter might have been the Defensive Player of that game, racking up 8 tackles, shutting down Warrick Dunn, and also making tackles for losses), ultimately won the game against the Michael Vick-led Falcons
Kearse was eager to play in the Super Bowl, with this being his second opportunity to prove to himself that he can achieve a victory in the biggest game of his life. The outcome, however, proved to be a difficult one for him as, once again, the victor was not decided until the last minute
The Eagles lost the Super Bowl by only three points after a final drive that was orchestrated by Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb failed to come up with any points. Kearse himself was held to two tackles in the game, mostly by Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light
2006 would be a short season for Kearse, as it was feared that he tore several ligaments in his knee, as well as dislocating his kneecap, tearing his knee capsule, straining his quadriceps tendon, and injuring his hamstring, during an overtime game against the New York Giants in week 2 of the NFL season. When he went into surgery, however, doctors were surprised to see that almost everything in his knee was intact, except for a tear to the lateral meniscuscartilage and a fracture to his tibia. The injury was downgraded from possibly career-ending to just a 12-week recovery. In light of these reports, Jevon's return to the NFL could prove to be as exciting as ever. Prior to the injury, he was on pace to have his best season yet, with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble in only two games.
Moving from Brentwood, TN to his suburban NJ residence, Kearse also owns a home in Pompano Beach, FL. He is an avid collector of radio controlled airplanes and cars. Every year, Kearse's foundation raises money for Ft. Myers kids and youth programs. Single, Kearse hopes to marry one day
