Kyzir White brings ball skills to Chargers linebacker group

In the Chargers’ 31-20 week two victory over the Buffalo Bills, safety-turned-linebacker Kyzir White walked away with the second-highest game grade on the entire team with an 86.7. The grade was good for fourth among all linebackers across the league while his coverage grade of 90.5 was second-best among his position group.

For those that forgot, White was technically a safety during his time at West Virginia. His position, nicknamed the “star” on the Mountaineers defense, was a hybrid role where White could use his plus-size and physicality to step into the box and defend larger receivers and reinforce the run defense.
