Then Chicago Bears first round draft pick has had a successful surgery, and now looks to healing and rehab.

When West Virginia wide receiver Kevin White fell to the Chicago Bears in the 1st round of the 2015 NFL Draft, most fans in Chicago immediately started celebrating the addition of a true #1 outside threat, and definite replacement for Brandon Marshall. White has big play ability, and Bears fans finally knew what it felt like to get a big-time WR early in a draft.
