Chris White, Buffalo Bills, 169th Pick, 6th Round, 2011 NFL Draft

White, Chris Mississippi St. 6027 244 4.68
Two-year starter. Junior college transfer from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Shorter arms than ideal to ward off blockers. A wrap up tackler who doesn’t give ground. Hits with conviction. Has the natural speed to run a play down from behind. Tough, competitive, and aggressive in his play. Doesn’t stay blocked versus the inside run. Quick to scrape and fill the “b” and “c” gaps. Plays square and gets through traffic to make a play. Good initial movement and read and react. Physical at the point of attack. Solid technique taking on blocks. Redirects well off a block and gets to the ball. Works well with his hands on shed. Physical when playing over a tight end and could be a Sam linebacker in a 4-3 or be a 3-4 outside guy. A little tight hipped but has some quickness on the edge. Takes decent drops and has okay zone awareness but not dynamic in space or reacting on the throw. Good effort player who can fit with the right team. Will contribute on all special teams coverage. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
