Different types of players. White is a true Mike LB, compact, powerful, fast, defensive QB. I’ll get hammered for this comparison but Perkins is a lot like Micah Parsons, a guy you can line up all over the place and he can do whatever you want. He can rush like an OLB, he can cover, he can play ILB and stop the run, he can rush middle and get home. White is an All-Timer at LSU, Perkins could be as well.

Can Perkins handle a Tennessee Walker though?

This is correct. White and Perkins are not comparable because of this. They will play completely different linebacker positions.

I don't know why you would get hammered for that comparison, I think it's spot on.

He’s more than just a pass rusher …I think making him a Jack linebacker would be selling him short

This is exactly right. White might be seen as a better player at his position, but Perkins has potential to be more impactful doing a bunch of different stuff. Love the Parsons comparison cause he was in college and is now just an athlete without a position making plays everywhere on the field.

I would hope no one would try to argue against this.

This is the rant. No place for logic and well thought out takes. It has to be one or the other. Get it right next time.
