New Orleans Saints: 5 players to watch in preseason Week 2 vs. Jaguars
New Orleans Saints to Watch – No. 3: Kevin White
I’m intrigued by Kevin White. The former No. 7 overall pick out of West Virginia was a major bust for the Bears and he’s failed to hook on with any other team since the Bears parted ways with him following the 2018 season.
White was on the 49ers’ roster last year but didn’t catch a single ball through three games. It’s been a disappointing career for White and he has another shot to prove himself, this time with the Saints, who are desperate for any kind of production from their receivers.
Kevin White has played sparingly, partly due to injuries, but the former No. 7 pick in the draft has also continued to flash his potential at times. So it’s not surprising teams keep kicking the tires. Was released by the 49ers last week. https://t.co/EoI55IVFhh

There’s a reason White went No. 7 in the 2015 NFL Draft and while his career hasn’t gone according to plan at this point, there’s still time for him to show something. Monday night’s game against the Jaguars is the time for White to show what he can do and that he still belongs in the pros.
Keep an eye on White on Monday to see if he flashes the potential that made him a top-10 pick six years ago.
