In the 2018 NFL Draft, Mike White was viewed as a quarterback prospect with NFL size, arm strength, and the ability to throw deep. However, evaluators noted significant weaknesses, including a lack of mobility, struggles under pressure, and a tendency to lock onto targets, which contributed to a high number of turnovers. Scouts saw his potential as a "project" quarterback with backup potential but also noted his boom-or-bust potential due to his inconsistent pocket awareness and fumbling issues.
