The Facts: White will be back for another try in 2017 and HC John Fox said on Tuesday that he remains confident that White will be able to bounce back. "Obviously it's not a great start to his career," Fox said. "But I think he's a very resilient guy. That's one of the biggest reasons why we drafted him. I think his makeup will prevail."
Diehards Line:
As PFT notes, the Bears said farewell to Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery this offseason, which means they’re set to have a very different looking passing game than they have had for the last few seasons. Mike Glennon is in at quarterback and the team signed free agent wideouts Kendall Wright and Markus Wheaton to catch his passes, but they remain hopeful that a holdover in the receiving corps can finally break out. White is that receiver and the 2015 first-round pick remains an unknown commodity after missing 28 of 32 games with leg injuries during his first two seasons. Wright, Wheaton and Cameron Meredith (a team-high 66 catches last year) give the Bears some cover in the event that things go wrong for White again this year, but it would certainly be a positive development for Chicago if they started to get some return on a former first-round pick.
