Apples to oranges comparison as they play different positions and are asked to do vastly different things.

D White as of now, but Oerkins is poised for a great year.

But D White was a beast.

Whit Weeks is also a beast

White is a better linebacker, Perk a better spy/pass rusher.

Ironic since I don't think White ever truly learned to play LB and basically played on instincts his entire career.
