I think so!!

There is a lot of improvement that he can make. Corey White wasn't drafted to start, he was drafted in the 5th round in 2012 and the only reason he has started is because of injury. White has not had 2 seasons in the same defensive scheme in the NFL. Give him time.

Look at Junior Gallette, it has taken him 4 unimpressive years to start but once he had the time under his belt he is a pillar of our defense.

If Ryan Griffin had been told in week 5 " Drew is hurt" your in the drivers seat, he would have preformed as well as Corey White did this season, which is no reason to call for their heads.

Pretty much. He's raw, with a lot of potential.

He might blow up and become a quality starter in this league, and he may flame out and disappear within a year or two.

Personally I've seen enough good play to think he's going to get better.

Oak, the Junior Galette example is perfect. For 3 years some posters ridiculed us for being excited about his potential. Now where is he?

Conversely many of us were also excited about Martez Wilson, but he flamed out pretty fast.

I think Cory White improves, and I'm excited about his future.
