When the Buffalo Bills parted ways with cornerback Tre’Davious White, Bills Mafia were understandably downtrodden. While understanding the cold, hard facts surrounding White — his salary, and a pair of significant lower leg injuries overshadowing the last three years in Orchard Park, NY chief among them — it didn’t make his release any less difficult for a fan base that came to adore the man behind Tre’ White’s Goalie Academy.
Despite that, many wondered if White’s days in the NFL as a starting shutdown cornerback were behind him. Following an ACL injury suffered the night of Buffalo’s Thanksgiving Day game in 2021, White was slow to return to the practice field, and he struggled to re-gain his form prior to the injury.
