Devin White Film Breakdown

I like a lot of what this guy does in his breakdowns, but sometimes he tries to make players seem too special in their flaws or in their strengths. (Which is intentional to get views I'm sure.)

In this case, a lot of White's weaknesses are no different than you would see from any ultra-athletic college linebacker, they try to do too much. That's not to say that White doesn't have things that need to be corrected, but I can remember Patrick Willis over-pursuing plays or trying to make spectacular tackles when the safer tackle was the better idea.

It is also pretty telling that his big example of poor gap reading was a play where White would have had a tough time getting around that blocker regardless of how quickly he made a read, and the play only went for eight or nine yards anyway.

Great analysis...I’ll go with HOF and mostly because he doesn’t know DW’s character.

His “concerns” are easily coachable. He’ll be a star linebacker in no time
