What the analysts are saying

• "White has good size and a live arm, which is enough to get him drafted, but if he doesn't do a better job of recognizing blitzes and making decisions faster, his arm talent won't matter." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Downfield touch is adequate. Can work to second read. Has backup potential." - CBS Sports
