Georgia Tech's Keion White Says He Had No Predraft Communication With The Patriots

That is not an unusual occurrence, but it is an interesting wrinkle in the selection of White. 

White is going to join a defense that was one of the best in the NFL last season but is looking for some juice in the pass rush. Belichick is going to love White's ability to move around on the front seven and the fact that he is still getting better as a defensive lineman. 

White also mentioned that the Patriots are going to be getting someone who loves the game and is always looking to get better:

When asked about his time at the draft and not being picked (White did not stay in Kansas City after the first round of the draft), here is what White had to say:

White is the highest draft pick for the Yellow Jackets since 2016 (Adam Gotsis, 63rd overall)

White played in all 12 games for Georgia Tech last season and led the team with 7.5 sacks and was named third-team All-ACC. His best game was against North Carolina, which had one of the top offenses in the country.

In that game against the Tar Heels, White produced three sacks, four tackles for loss, and seven tackles. It was not only the best defensive linemen performance of the week but also one of the best of the entire season.

Georgia Tech held UNC to its season low in points, in total yards, and Heisman-contending quarterback Drake Maye to his season low in total passing yards.

Playing defensive end for only a few seasons makes me think that White is just starting to scratch his potential and he could see a big jump in the NFL. He is an extremely hard-working player with very good athleticism and can play multiple positions along the defensive line.
