Kevin White WR


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

Been pushing Kevin White for awhile now.  Think this writeup hits it pretty well.  Only thing I seen so far is that he isnt fluid in his routes.  Has Benjamins frame and good hands and times his catches very good.  Little shorter than Benjamin at 6'3 but is a better YAC runner.  Only been playing Div I for 2 years. Last year he didnt impress as much but this season he has burst onto the seen and is the leading receiver in the NFL.

 

 

Right now a early 2nd to late first round pick.

Really good prospect. Raw in a lot of areas, but the positives far outweigh the negatives.

 

Pros:

Size/Speed- Game speed is deceptive

Hands- He uses his hands well to catch the ball away from his body.

Powerful after the catch

Body- Uses it to shield defenders well, and makes adjustments to the ball in the air

 

Con:

Route Running- Like Squirrel said, he can be a little lazy on his route running. Needs to be more deliberate with his routs, or NFL corners will be able to undercut him pretty easily.

 

The below video shows his ability to pick up YAC, displays his hands, as well as some less than stellar route running. The drop at 0:40 is the type of catch he'll be expected to come down with in the NFL. Still, very intriguing prospect.

Including one with the same last name.

The Pat White/Steve Slaton/Noel Devine/Owen Schmitt era was a great time for WVU fans. Too bad none of them panned out.

Tavon Austin is doing good for himself though.

I'm a mountaineer fan.

I wish we could pick Kevin White up.

Yeah while I agree a lot of former Mountaineers havent panned out.  Holgerson can teach receivers.

    • It’s like being on the Flyers broadcast team feed so far
    • Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.
    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
