Kevin White

We, uh, I think everyone, all the fans, everyone that plays fantasy football, maybe even the whole league, got spoiled a couple years ago with all those rookie wide receivers that were just phenomenal, Jordan Matthews included, 'cause his rookie year, I did not expect half of that production from him.

And we saw last year with Kevin White, barely even played.

I don't even think he played.

No, he was hurt.

I think, uh, and I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna throw a bold prediction, I think when you're talking about very bad teams this year, I'm gonna throw out the name of the Chicago Bears.

[laughs] I agree with you 100%.

I like John Fox as a head coach, but outside of Alshon Jeffrey and Kevin White and maybe, uh, Jeremy Langford, uh, other than that, their offensive line sucks, to me, the defensive side of the ball, they got nothing.

The, I, I agree with you, I think they're in for a bad, bad year.

This is fun to ride." What, what the, the consumer sometimes doesn't understand is things take a hold of, you know, their own kind of life and, and, and, and become, uh, a theme that maybe you don't even wanna be a part of.

I'll never forget the Kevin White met that, uh, Kevin White bet that I made in Bourbonnais on the air, uh, because I was tired of people talking about Kevin White in a way that, that I didn't think was representative of his talent.

You know? I, I remember the Kevin White I saw in the West Virginia Alabama game and him being the best player on the field, thinking, "Damn it, 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns is where we should set the bar." Okay? And guess what? That never happened.

And guess what? Bears fans rode my ass fun, you know, all good-natured fun for a while.

And guess what? [laughs] Enjoy that hook, fish.

But then I'm also like, man, I don't know.

I could see him just being Kevin White or Ricky Pearsall.

You know, one of these guys that he either shows the flashes and he just can't stay healthy-

Yeah

Amari Cooper, you know, lived up to it early on.

Kevin White, no, and never did anything with Chicago or anywhere else.

Devontae Parker was just a guy.

He was better than just a guy.

Yeah, but he wasn't a first-round pick or anything.

No, he wasn't a first-round pick.

Let me look at what Kevin White did after his time with the Bears.

Leonard Fournette kind of playoff Lenny.

Mm-hmm.

That's when we learned Kevin White was a dog.

Beat Towson, beat Maryland, fought Oklahoma.

You know, Kevin White balls, that's the game Samaje Perine went off.

Mm.

But then we bounce back four straight Ws.

KW.

Kevin White?

Yep.

No. Yeah, no, that was an NFL wide receiver for the Bears.

Draft bus.

You know that,

right? Kevin White, got him.

It still counts.

And so they're super valuable and there's all this pressure on them to pan out because if they don't, then your whole rebuild is a year behind schedule.

You know, that was like, like Kevin White was, yeah, six overall.

Roquan was eighth overall.

Leonard Floyd was up there too, right? He's like eighth or ninth overall.
