When the Chicago Bears open up offseason workouts on Monday, Kevin White will finally be able to fully participate. The receiver sat on the sideline his entire rookie season after undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture in his shin.
After weighty 2015 expectations from being the No. 7 overall draft pick were wiped away by the nagging injury, White is running at full speed.
Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune relays the tale of White recently racing his best friend, Devon Blake, a former Lackawanna (Pa.) College receiver. White had already been cleared to run, but the biggest hurdle was trusting the surgically repaired leg.
