 Measurables:
Combine height: 6-0 1/4
Combine weight: 197 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.49 seconds
Stats:
White was a true double-threat, completing 65.7 percent of his passes for 1,842 yards and 21 touchdowns against seven interceptions as a senior with 1,109 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. For his career, White completed 64.8 percent of his passes and threw for 6,049 yards, with 56 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. He also rushed for 4,842 yards (posting four 1,000-yard seasons) and 47 touchdowns after taking over as the Mountaineers’ starter midway through his freshman campaign.
Skill Set:
There’s no question White is a superior athlete. As a quarterback he would have the mobility to avoid a rush and make plays with his feet; moreover, while he has flashed a propensity to tuck and run sooner than some scouts would like he also has demonstrated a Ben Roethlisberger-like ability to keep his eyes downfield while scrambling and make a late throw if there’s an opening. He threw the ball as well as any other quarterback at the Combine (which, given this quarterback class isn’t saying all that much) and has a strong enough arm to make the requisite throws at the NFL level. There’s also little doubt about his leadership ability. As a receiver, his QB knowledge would help him in reading defenses and he has the speed and vision to make plays once he has the ball in his hands.
