Patriots’ Version Of Myles Garrett?! Budding Star Defender Showing Promise

Patriots defensive lineman Keion White exceeded even the highest expectations in New England's season-opening win against the Cincinnati Bengals.

White played 80% of defensive snaps and recorded 2 1/2 sacks on Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. He beat Cincinnati offensive tackle Trent Brown for a strip-sack on the first drive of the game and bullied guard Alex Cappa for a half sack later in the first half.

The 2023 second-round pick was so good that he received a "random" drug test from the NFL on Monday morning.

White was well-deserving of a 'Stud' recognition in NESN.
