Rookie Keion White showcases his physicality in strong preseason debut

Entering the New England Patriots preseason opener, rookie Keion White had one goal: play physical.

“Just play physical,” White told reporters after the game. “I can fix all the rest of the stuff, technique and everything obviously needs to be corrected. But, just playing that physical, dominant style of the game was my main focus today.”

Throughout his first NFL action Thursday night, White was a constant force in the Houston Texans’ backfield despite playing just under 30 snaps. Aligning at various spots along the defensive line, White forced a handful of pressures, even tossing one Texans’ lineman with a violent push-pull technique.
