Instead, White's NFL career never got off the ground. He caught just 25 passes in 14 games over four injury-plagued seasons with the Bears. Last August, White was cut by the Cardinals and hasn't made a roster since.
White carries unique perspective forward from a disappointing career in the NFL.
"You can’t let one thing in your life — OK, let’s say I never play a down of football ever again. I can’t let that consume the rest of my life. That’s like a smidge compared to, hopefully, how long I’m gonna live. But it’s also a big part of my life so I do care about it, I do think about it but I’m not going to let it consume my life."
White, 27, remains a free agent.
