Blair White (WR, Michigan State)

NYPacker · Apr 18, 2010

Another late round WR prospect. He looks like a solid route runner and has excellent recognition to track the ball. Looks kinda like a Nelson/Driver combo which are the types that TT really looks for. He's not really a PR/KR so I highly doubt we get him. At the least he should be a undrafted FA pickup.

Release: Lines up outside and in the slot. Doesn't explode from his stance and takes time to get to top speed. Won't separate from NFL corners with his average speed.

Hands: Reliable receiver who can adjust to low, wide and high throws, but he double-catches and traps the ball against his body too often and will drop contested throws that he must make at the next level. Must be consistent making tough catches in traffic because he won't separate due to his lack of top-end speed. Does hold onto the ball after a big hit, however. Tracks the ball over either shoulder.

Route running: Solid and smart route runner who can find openings in the defense to exploit. Not elite in his quickness or suddenness, but can still shake a defender in the open with space or press a corner and plant quickly on his out, slant and comeback routes. Hesitation move after the snap lulls defenders to sleep. Gets his head around quickly to find the ball after he makes a cut.

After the catch: Tough runner after the catch, displaying good balance to stay upright after contact and keep moving downfield. Can sidestep oncoming defenders and come inside after out route but does not have great vision or burst and is not really elusive. Has some punt return experience; more of a sure-hands guy with some shiftiness to get through traffic when running north-south. Used on quick screens because of his toughness.

Blocking: High-effort blocker who takes on any defender aggressively and works to sustain with extended arms, effective hands and attitude. Looks for multiple targets to hit downfield. Not strong enough to sustain against better defenders, however, and will miss blocks when out-quicked at the second level. Plays on kickoff return units for his blocking.

Intangibles: High-motor, high-effort and high-character player. Team captain, team's most outstanding player in 2009, most inspirational player after 2008 season. First-team Academic All-American with 3.89 GPA. Accepted at Detroit-Mercy's School of Dentistry.
