When the Chicago Bears drafted West Virginia's Kevin White with the seventh overall pick this past April, general manager Ryan Pace was excited about his new wide receiver.
"We couldn't be more thrilled right now," Pace said after the draft, per Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com. "This guy's dynamic, he's big, he's strong and he's ultra-competitive. If I could stress one word for this player, he's competitive. You see it after the catch. You see it in the way he attacks the ball in the air. This is a dynamic playmaker for our offense."
White was expected to pair up with fourth-year man Alshon Jeffery on the outside in Chicago's new offense this season, but a shin injury will force him to miss at least the first six games of the year.
