I saw him get beat on that late bomb to #80. It would have taken a good pass, but 80 definitely walked past him while the ball was in the air. I'm excited about his upside, but he didn't look like a clear five star based on this game. I heard he did well in the practices, though, so we'll see.
White didnt get beat, wr who caught that Td was not his man.... In fact, go back and watch, white covered an absurd amount of ground to even get close to making a play on that ball. He cam from across the field, he is 5 star worthy, and will likely get it...
We need him at cb on def.... We'lll just waste him if we put him at wr

1st let me preface by saying that I think White is a 5* CB on it's own. (After yesterday I'd have to say 2nd behing Hargreaves. That kid was amazing at CB yesterday)
What gets left out when stars are being discussed is that White's whole package isn't just as a CB. You have to factor in the whole package of skills and to me that is why he's a no brainer 5*. When you think about the fact that he could just as easily be a high 4* caliber WR that only raises his profile for a 5th*. Then factor in his return ability and it's a no brainer. The kid is electric as a returner and anyone that thinks that shouldn't factor in much, just look at the overall impact PP7 and TM7 had as returners. Arguably both had a greater impact as returners than as DBs. Definitely in PP7's case. Huge part of the evaluation process imo. When factoring in the whole skillset of White there is no doubt that he's a 5*

He's not talking about that play. He's talking about a pass that the kid caught out of bounds in the endzone. Personally I think he played that well, squeezing the guy and giving the QB nowhere to throw it.

Different play. On the one I referred to his man did a go up the sidelines, White used good technique keeping the receiver behind him and watching the QB, but got outrun. The ball was overthrown and incomplete. It was probably a sign that he's used to high school receivers with which he can run 3/4's speed and not get burnt.
