BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Seconds before Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'Davious White suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Thursday's 31-6 win over the New Orleans Saints, he was being praised as one of the top defensive backs in the NFL.
“There’s a reason he’s one of the elite corners in this league,” NBC analyst and former Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. “He’s got great makeup speed, ball awareness.”
Shortly after, White's left knee bent the wrong way while he was covering Saints receiver Marquez Callaway. Brees' comments now serve as a reminder of what the Bills will be without after an MRI revealed the team’s top corner would be out until 2022.
