Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick chose Patriots defensive standout Keion White, who was nominated by Chris Long, as Inside the NFL's "Football Guy" of Week 1.
Belichick selected White out of Georgia Tech in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft. White was tabbed as a potential 2024 breakout player throughout the offseason, and so far, he's made good on those assumptions with a game-wrecking performance in the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
He finished the game with four tackles and 2.5 sacks to knock off the Joe Burrow-led Bengals team on their home field at Paycor Stadium.
