The Facts: Serious leg injuries in each of his first two NFL seasons have forced White to miss 28 of 32 games. But the Bears are confident that the young receiver possesses the drive and determination to relaunch his career. "Knowing his work ethic and his approach and his support system, I know he's going to come back ready to go," said GM Ryan Pace. "He has just got to shake off some of that bad luck. Kevin is going to have to step up and stay healthy."
Diehards Line:HC John Fox said the same at last week's NFL Owners Meeting. ... But as the team's official web site notes, White has been anything but healthy since being selected by the Bears with the seventh overall pick in the 2015 draft. He missed his entire rookie season with a stress fracture in his left leg and then broke his fibula in the same leg in the fourth game last year, eventually undergoing surgery for the second straight season. White has shown promise when healthy; his 19 receptions last season were the most ever by a Bears player in his first four NFL games. The key moving forward, of course, is for the 6-3, 216-pounder to stay on the field and out of the training room. But that history will create fantasy value and grabbing White at the right price could turn out to be a great play.
