White caught 109 passes for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final year at West Virginia before getting drafted to the Chicago Bears.

Following a year of chaos in the Bears locker room changes had to be made. One of those changes included moving WR Brandon Marshall to the New York Jets. White is joining Chicago at the absolute perfect time as he will now be second in line (among wide receivers) to receive passes from Jay Cutler in 2015.

As a complement receiver to Alshon Jeffery, White could have an absolutely tremendous rookie campaign. Jeffery will draw not only the opposing teams’ number one corner, but will also draw double teams repeatedly, thus opening things up for White to get open.

White’s 6’3″ 209-pound frame is big enough to score in the red zone at the NFL level as well. White could very well finish as the top rookie WR in 2015.
