Bears WR coach compares Kevin White to two University of Miami legends

Wiki Article

wide receiver 's career did not exactly get off to the most promising start. After the Bears made him the No. 7 overall pick in the 2015 draft, White sat out his entire rookie season with a stre s fracture in his shin. Still, the Bears obviously have high hopes for Andre Iguodala Jersey the kind of player he can become. How high? Well, the Bears' new wide receivers coach is already comparing his new pupil to two of his former charges that are likely to end up in Canton one day. Curtis Johnson was the wide receivers coach for the University of Miami from 1996 through 2005, and during that time he coached two guys named and Reggie Wayne. And the coach sees a little bit of both of them in White. "Kevin White was one of the better receivers I've seen coming out," Johnson said Friday, . "He reminded me of some of the guys I Solomon Hill Jersey had in Miami. He reminded me of Andre Johnson. He's very similar to him. They're both big and physical and fast. That doesn't all go together sometimes. But when you see a big guy who is physical, fast and athletic, you just wonder how good this guy can really be?" White is Hassan Whiteside Jersey 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds at the NFL combine. Johnson, meanwhile, is 6-2, 230 and ran his 40 in 4.41 seconds when he was coming out of The U. So the size and speed combination, yeah, that's there. Other athletic indicators are pretty close, too Player Shuttle Duncan Robinson Jersey Vert Broad Johnson 4.10 41" 10'9" White 4.14 36.5" 10'3" So, a big, fast, athletic receiver like Andre Johnson. That's a start. But (Curtis) Johnson wasn't done showering praise on White. " White has hands similar to Reggie Wayne," Johnson said. "So he was one of those guys where when you looked at the draft and watched television, you say this guy is going to be a bona fide player." Hands Avery Bradley Jersey like Reggie Wayne would be pretty good, too. Those hands caught 1,070 pa ses and 82 touchdowns in 14 seasons. White obviously has a long way to go before he should be compared to either Johnson or Wayne in terms of production. He's produced exactly zero at the NFL level. But the skill and athleticism he showed at West Virginia are likely still there, and that's what gives his coaches such high hopes.
