Elvis Kool Dumervil (born January 19, 1984) is a former American football defensive end who played 12 seasons in the National Football League.
He played college football at Louisville, where he was named unanimous All-American.
Dumervil was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, where he played for seven seasons before joining the Baltimore Ravens in 2013.
Dumervil has appeared in the Pro Bowl five times and set the Ravens' franchise record for most sacks in a season, with 17 in 2014.
Early years
Dumervil was born in Miami, Florida. His parents, who immigrated to Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood, were Haitian immigrants. Elvis Presley, of whom his father was a fan, was named after him. When Dumervil was three years old, they raised a total of ten children. Curry Burns, his half-brother (born 1981), is a retired American footballer.
Dumervil played football and track at Miami Jackson High School, where he was a two-sport star in football and track. He played for high school football for the Jackson Generals team in high school. Dumervil had a 78 career sacks, placing him in the top 25 defensive ends by most football recruiting websites.
College career
Despite being 5 ft. 11 in., Dumervil was one of the most consistent defensive players in school history and put together one of the most memorable collegiate seasons in 2005. Dumervil, a native of Miami, Fla., played for John L. Smith (2002) and Bobby Petrino's Louisville Cardinals football team from 2003 to 2005. Dumervil had six tackles and two tackles for loss as a rookie in 2002, but the coaching staff were captivated by his quickness and his high energy. Petrino took over after John L. Smith's departure, and Dumervil's career took off. He only had 28 tackles and two sacks in 2003. During the 2002 season, the Cardinal coaching staff had intended on redshirting him, but injuries to other players and a weak finish brought him back to the rotation.
In guiding the Cardinals to an 11-1 record and a victory over Boise State in one of the most awaited Liberty Bowls in history, he displayed glimpses of what was to come in 2004. In a 31-24 victory over the Kentucky Wildcats, he set a new NCAA single-game sack record for forced fumbles, and set a new NCAA single-game sack record for forced fumbles for the first time in both NCAA and school history. His dismissal total also fell short of the Big East record set by Dwight Freeney, a player Elvis wished to imitate. He finished the season with a school record 20.5 sacks and 10 forced fumbles, which is still the highest in NCAA history. He received many awards for the 2005 season, including the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Ted Hendricks Award, and Best East Player of the Year, as a unanimous first-team All-American.
Marcus Vick, a Virginia Tech quarterback, stomped on the back of Dumervil's leg after a whistle in the 2006 Gator Bowl. Although no penalty was issued, Vick's permanent removal from the Virginia Tech football team resulted from the backlash from this play (in conjunction with a misdemeanor charge for driving with a revoked license). Vick said he had apologized to Dumervil after the game, but Dumervil denied that assertion and said that he did not receive any kind of apology from Vick.
He was known for the "strip-sack" tactic in college, in which he would sometimes strip the ball from ball carriers or quarterbacks.
With 151 career tackles, 42.5 tackles for injury, and 32 sacks, Jimmy Jackson High's product ended his career. He came in third all-time in tackles for loss and second in sacks, as well as No. 1 in tackles for the second time. During the celebrations against Syracuse on November 7, 2015, 58 jerseys were honoured.
Professional career
Despite his college success and comparisons to Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney, Dumervil was chosen on the second day of the NFL Draft due to questions about his petite frame (5'11", 258 pounds), and the fact that he went without a sack in his final three collegiate games. This may have been due to being double-teamed on a regular basis, but some people believed it was a sign of exhaustion. Several teams considered moving him to linebacker or only using him in pass rushing situations.
The Denver Broncos selected Dumervil in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Mike Shanahan, the Broncos' head coach, confirmed that he planned to keep Dumervil's defensive end at an end.
Dumervil had no playing time early in his rookie season. However, his minutes increased as the season progressed, and he ended the year with 8.5 sacks in 13 games. In the first game of the 2007 NFL season, he will have his first interception of his career. Dumervil will continue to lead the Broncos and finish among league leaders with 12.5 sacks in 2007.
Curry Burns, his half-brother, also played at the University of Louisville and was drafted by the Houston Texans in the 2003 NFL Draft.
With Josh McDaniels' coaching staff in the 2009 season, defensive coordinator Mike Nolan moved Dumervil around as an outside linebacker in his 3-4 defensive scheme, but kept him as a defensive end in 4-2-5 passing down situations. In the Sep 20 game against Cleveland, Dumervil led the league in sacks by 17, and tied a franchise record by four. Dumervil was a near unanimous pick for the All-Pro Team at the end of the season, receiving 46 out of the 50 total votes. He also finished third in the year's polls for Defensive Player of the Year.
Dumervil signed a six-year contract extension (including $43.168 million in guaranteed payments) to keep him with the Broncos until 2015. However, Dumervil sustained a torn pectoral muscle during practice on August 4, 2010, and the entire 2010 season was postponed.
If Dumervil's contract was announced on March 15, 2013, his $12 million salary for the 2013 season would be fully guaranteed. The Broncos, who were hoping to free up space under the salary cap, have reached an agreement to restructure his deal in order to lower his 2013 salary ceiling. However, Dumervil and his agent faxed the documents six minutes late at 2:06 p.m. MT, prompting the Broncos to release Dumervil rather than guarantee the $12 million. As a result, the Broncos may have resigned Dumervil as soon as Saturday, March 16, rather than any salary cap hits from the new deal. Dumervil was sacked by the snafu, who ordered him to fire his agent.
Dumervil agreed to a five-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens, totaling $8.5 million in the first year. No. No. was given to Dumervil. 58 – his college number in Louisville and the number of Peter Boulware, one of the best pass rushers in Ravens' history – was with Baltimore because Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata had worn No. 58. 92 – the number Dumervil wore in Denver for his entire time with the Ravens – was 92.
Dumervil posted 17 sacks, as well as causing two fumbles. The 17 sacks set a new Baltimore Ravens franchise record. Suggs had 12 of his own and Terrell Suggs combined for the most sacks by a pair in the regular season, while Suggs had 12 of his own and the two totaled 29. He was elected to his fourth Pro Bowl and later added to the Associated Press' All-Pro first team.
Dumervil was the highest-ranked Raven on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2015 list, coming in at number 46. He was the third best-ranked outside linebacker in the world, behind fellow All-Pros Justin Houston and Von Miller.
Despite starting all 16 games for the Ravens for the first time, Dumervil's production will begin to decline sharply in 2015.
Andy Dalton was fired by Dumervil in Week 3 and triggered a fumble, which was recovered by linebacker C.J. Mosley and returned 41 yards for a touchdown. However, the Bengals won 28-24.
Blake Bortles twice and defended a pass in Week 10, but he also shattered Baltimore's hopes of winning. The Jaguars had a snap off before the clock reached zero, and Dumervil raced past the Jacksonville offensive line unbeaten and overbortles on what seemed to be the game's final play. However, he was called on a facemask penalty, giving the Jaguars one last chance to win the game, and they did, after kicking a 53-yard field goal with no time left. Nonetheless, it was determined that Baltimore should have won the game regardless of the time, as the Jaguars were not even allowed to play during the game in which Dumervil was flagged.
Dumervil's last good show of the year came against the Browns on Monday Night Football, where he had 1.5 sacks in a 33-27 victory. Dumervil ended the year with 6 sacks, a protected pass, and a coerced fumble.
After an airline mix-up that brought his luggage to Japan, Dumervil was chosen to participate in the 2016 Pro Bowl as an alternate and landed in Hawaii. In the game, he made only one tackle.
The Ravens cut Dumervil on March 8, 2017.
Dumervil joined the San Francisco 49ers on June 5, 2017. Dumervil received 6.5 sacks in 16 games with the 49ers in 2017.
Dumervil's deal was not selected by the 49ers on March 9, 2018, making him a free agent.
Dumervil resigned from football on August 30, 2018.
