Position: WR
School: West Virginia
College Experience: Senior
Height: 6-3
Weight: 215 lbs.
Age: 21

Combine Results

Strengths

• Climbs the ladder to attack the ball at its highest point by using his size and frame well. 
• Excellent vision once the ball is in his hands and does a good job of reading blocks in the open field.
• Good at adjusting routes when the quarterback is flushed outside the pocket.
• Does a good job of shaking press coverage and gaining separation from corners quickly. 
• Frequently attracts double coverage, opening up space for his fellow receivers.

Weaknesses

• Needs to improve the sharpness of his crossing routes. Can round them off at times and has difficulty avoiding traffic. 
• Average blocker. Doesn't continue to move his feet after engaging with defender.
• Struggles to break tackles and pick up yardage on short passing plays like hitches and screens. Needs to make more tacklers miss. 

NFL player comparison: Malcom Floyd

Floyd is three inches taller, but White plays bigger than his size. Both players love to stretch the field and snatch the ball in traffic. White's ceiling is much higher than Floyd, though, and with a little polishing, he could become an elite receiver at the next level. 

Ideal fit: Oakland Raiders

Oakland's current receiving corps isn't going to cut it and needs an upgrade if the Raiders want Derek Carr to succeed. Picking at No. 4 should give them the option to grab White, who would instantly become the Raiders' top target. The combo of Carr and White should add an element of explosiveness to an offense that has sorely missed it for years.

Draft Projection: Round 1 (1-10)
