Former Bears 1st-round pick Kevin White tells NBC Sports he was ‘cheated’ by injuries

The Bears drafted wide receiver Kevin White with the No. 7 overall pick in 2015, the year that multi-Pro-Bowl players Todd Gurley and Marcus Peters went later in the first round, and never got much out of him. White missed his entire rookie year due to injury and played just 14 games in four seasons.

It was a brutal experience for him, and the injuries that derailed his career continue to gnaw at him. In an extensive interview with NBC Sports, White lamented that he wasn’t able to be the player the Bears thought they drafted.
