One is the Fermi velocity, which tells you how fast the electrons are whizzing at zero temperature (assuming they don't have a BCS instability and become a superconductor), and the other is the same "kT" for a gas, which tells you the little thermal skin near the Fermi surface when the electrons are excited. The two concepts are distinct.
