In a premier offseason showcase, two former WKU football players showcased their talents in the Senior Bowl last weekend.
Quarterback Mike White and tight end Deon Yelder represented the Hilltoppers Saturday afternoon for Team South.
Playing in just the opening quarter, White racked up 128 passing yards on eight completions and a touchdown. Yelder caught his only target of the game for a one-yard score.
White, in particular, impressed draft scouts and analysts during the week of practice and in the game itself.
NFL Network color commentator Mike Mayock loved White’s only quarter of action, saying, “I think, by far, he’s been the most impressive skill player in this game so far.
