White Says He is Eager for Opportunity in New Orleans

Well-spoken, lot of confidence which is much needed as a defensive back in the NFL. Don't know much about his productivity at Samford...

I was under the impression that the was primarily a safety, but this is good news if he actually has primarily played as a CB.

I believe he played CB for 3 years in college...

I like the guys answers. I get sick of the same ole:

A) "I'm really humbled and honored just to be here."

A) "I just want to give it my 100% best effort"

A) "This is a great defense I'm coming into and I just want to help add a missing piece"

A) Scott Shanle is a great linebacker and future Hall of Famer"

6'0" is better than 5'10", that gives him 1 check on my sheet.
He thinks he's a ball hawk, and not a chicken hawk, another check on my sheet.
If we are going to play press like Spags said in his post draft interview,
then this guy may be strong enough to hold guys up for 1/2 a second or so.
But then you have to be able to turn your hips and go if the gate comes open.
4.4 - 4.7 isn't bad especially if the streaker's timing has been thrown off.
I hope he makes a name for himself.
Man, I wish I could get down to Airline Dr. and see these youngsters get humbled.

He did a 4.39 on his Pro Day workout at Samford, so he does have some speed to him.

I'm skeptical that he went from a 4.55 to a 4.39. Thats a HUGE jump.

Was he injured on his combine runs?

That's what he ran...
