He's owed too much money to not be on the roster. Beyond that, I'm not counting on him.

I'm pulling for the kid. It's easy, frankly boring, to be all super pragmatic, he'll just get injured. Yawn.

If someone is telling me he's a good fit for the scheme, I'm interested, tell me more.
"I wouldn't take him for a conditional 7th. His next contract will pay him more than he could possibly contribute.".

I'm with ya... I'm shifting gears this season and I'm going to root for him to succeed. Which is not to say I didn't want him to do well in the past, I just hated the pick and through today it's proven to be warranted.

In the four verticals concept, which I expect to see some of next year, he's going to be great at the 'X' and running the fly with the comeback on the stem, or the seam route. Anything that forces him to change direction as little as possible, and to use his big body to shield a smaller defender. I could also see him running the drag under the play, when the LB's clear out.
I am somewhat amazed that people are talking about "next year" for Kevin White. As if it's a given he'll even have a "next year".

Between getting hurt in camp, pre-season... not making the final roster. I am far from sold on him being around for regular season Bears football next year.
I’d say he’s pretty close to a lock to make the roster if he survives camp physically. His contract is 100% guaranteed. After that though, I think he’s done.

With all the hopium going around with this franchise currently, why can't we assume he'll break out next year for a pro bowl season? I'm kidding...

Look. The kid has been through a rash of injuries. Many players have come back and had productive careers after shaking the injury bug. My one concern has always been, that he got stress fractures from running too much. Last time I checked...that's what receivers do. Stress fractures can also be a systemic bone density issue, or a lack of calcium issue. Which means that, he may never shake this. He was a raw product to begin with, and needed the last couple of years to polish his craft, and never really got it. So even if he can stay healthy this year, he's only 6-8 games into his professional career, after three seasons.

I'm pulling for the kid, but I would hang my hope elsewhere.
