TAMPA, Fla. -- Linebacker Devin White's pre-draft visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't go exactly as planned.
The flight that was to take him from Tampa to New York to meet with the New York Giants experienced multiple delays, leaving him stranded at the airport for eight hours and forcing him to stay an extra night.
"It was the longest delay that I've ever been [through]," White said. "They were working on the plane and once they fixed something, I guess something else broke."
That experience, and those hours spent staring out a window at the Marriott Airport Hotel, would come back to him three and half weeks later on the first night of the NFL draft.
