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.

    • Truly amazing insight here. LOL  These draft class vs. draft class comparisons just aren't relevant. It really doesn't matter how prospects stack up vs. other draft classes.  A lot of people are doing the same thing with T-Mac. Oh, he would've been the 4th or 5th best WR in this class or that class. Okay, great. We're still sitting on the clock at #8 and we have to make a pick or take a trade offer. Drafting a player from another draft class isn't an option so who cares? Everyone kinda accepted going into this draft that it was weak at the top but pretty strong in depth. Now we get to see how it plays out on the field. Plenty of draft projections prove incorrect.
    • The trade up really put Bryce in a huge spotlight. Yeah, the Bama/SEC effect definitely played a big role too.
    • I think there’s plenty of ways you can go about choosing the worst position group for us. LB, S, EDGE, hell even CB. For me, our biggest weakness remains depth. Plenty of reasons behind that (poor drafting, bad contracts, not a big market to attract FAs, etc.). Injuries will and do happen and for us, one big injury to any of our weaker position groups and things start looking similar to last year. The only position groups that can continue contributing while having injuries IMO are OL and RB. So both should be the only two considerations for strengths even though I understand  the hope and/or projection for WRs. I tend to not use projection in “right now” rankings. But i get it.
