    Should we consider drafting him?

    He's got a rocket arm and was very accurate against NC.

    He can also run.

    He seems to me to be a better Michael Vick without the off-field issues.

    What do you guys think?

    Great college player, but he won't be a QB in the NFL.

    I'm not sure where you got the idea that he has a "rocket arm"

    I laughed when I read that too...

    White could end up as an NFL QB ala Kordell Stewart, it just depends where he lands. He'll most likely be a wideout in the NFL, but there's always hope.

    I want to see him play QB in pros, but that most likely won't happen. He lacks elite arm strength and size.

    We already drafted Brad Smith. White isn't going to turn out to be much different from him, possibly a little better if he can get separation in his routes. White is too small to play QB in the NFL and his arm isn't exactly a rocket.

    White is a better passer that Smith or Randle El were. Not great by any means, but wouldn't be a horrible guy to stash on your bench. He made some great, great throws yesterday. However, he's a much better runner than both of them. He's got phenomenal instincts with the ball.

    He'd be a great fit for teams wanting to run a Wildcat offense. He's that good of a runner that I would be comfortable designing runs for him.

    yeah he wont be a qb in the nfl, i have my doubts about him even being drafted, he's way to injury prone and will get hurt every play in the nfl

    White is nowhere near the passer that Smith was in college. I don't even think it's really that close to be honest with you.

    You don't watch much college football do you? You saw his 1 bowl game vs UNC and now you think you know what you're talking about.

    If he can do it once....

    and he can win in big games which we have not been able to do. I never said to draft him. I said he played amazing against UNC and he could be an option.
