The New England Patriots have gotten some solid contributions out of their rookie class so far this summer, and second-round draft pick Keion White is right up there near the top of that list. The defensive lineman out of Georgia Tech has impressed with his athleticism and positional versatility.
He put both of them to use in his preseason debut against the Houston Texans. Whether it was run defense or rushing the passer, White was a definitive impact player in his 27 snaps and a problem for those lining up opposite him.
Even though he was held out of the second preseason game after sustaining a minor injury in joint practices with the Green Bay Packers, his on-field work has been notable.
