Well, depending on what source you "choose" to believe, he can be anywhere from 1 to 3 years older than Amari Cooper.

And White's own girlfriend corrected them. https://twitter.com/RoxyGbor1/status/614181386417737728
LOL.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Drop him down the draft boards... Thanks Xue. That extra year man... the difference between making it and not making it in the bigs. Why did he even enter the draft? He's too old!!!!
(This is where you say, "No, he just sucks.")
Then we go back and forth wasting everyone's time.

oh jesus, not this again. He's obviously 23, his family/friends/GF, the fact he started college in 2010. For the love of God make it stop.

The fact that the Bears don't even know his age, makes me think it's not an important factor for NFL clubs

Bingo.
Never said he sucks. If I did , I'd like you to quote me, but you can't. You just like trolling me with strawman arguments.georg013 said:

Then you keep trolling people who actually have substance to post.

Sad but Cooper's landing spot in Oaktown may be better, and by a lot, than White's in that mess that is Chicago with Cutlet/ Fox. And for what, one year? Unless there's some miracle turn around that folks have been waiting for for years and has never come.

It seems like Kevin White is quickly becoming the most difficult of the 4-5 rookie WR's to evaluate. It may be nothing more than a trend in opinion during the "know-nothing" period of the off-season, but it seems like Amari Cooper has solidified the top spot through a combo of ability and situation, and Nelson Agholor has steadily climbed due to his significant situation and predictions of being a day 1 starter and possible WR1. White is an obvious physical freak who can play the game, and yet it seems right now that most are assuming a gradual emergence for this guy, with plenty of learning along the way. I can't figure out if this is nothing more than just John Fox + Cutler + The Bears + too much time to overthink everything or whether there is truth to this, but it's weird to me that a guy taken so early in the NFL draft is predicted to have a relatively low ceiling this year compared to his contemporaries.
Last year's class basically broke the old cliche of WR's needing 3 years to develop. I don't play in any redraft leagues, but that doesn't make it much easier to figure out whether taking Kevin White this year over a guy like Agholor is the right move or not. If what happened last year is an emerging trend as opposed to an aberration, then the opportunity cost of passing on a guy in a good situation now to wait for White to learn the ropes becomes awfully high.
I have a ton of first round picks in an upcoming rookie draft, and my head is spinning trying to figure out this year's WR class. Am I crazy in feeling like this guy's stock is slowly sliding despite the lack of new info?

Nelson Agholor has no business in anyone's top 3 WR in this draft conversation. If not for his landing spot, he would be JAG. Just like every other USC receiver. No one was even hyping this guy until Chip took him. Even still, no one is really hyping him.

The 'cliche' of WRs needing 3 years was disproven moons ago.

Um....No.
1000 yards would be lucky. Ya got John Fox in the house, Cutler, and he's the #2 at best.

Multi-week injury to Kevin White

Very little information on KEVIN WHITE @ChicagoBears shin injury. Most likely stress related injury with timetable in weeks, not days.

May miss the entire season on the PUP list??? WHAT???? Surely this is just an overreaction, right?

Sloppy enough reporting that I wouldn't take it seriously. You can't be on the PUP for the entire season...after 6 weeks, teams have another couple weeks to either activate or IR the player.
Most likely what the careless reporter meant to write was "PUP for the entire preseason" which could still have him active week 1. Or the Bears could decide near the end of camp to PUP him for the first 6 weeks.

David Terrell 2.0

I don't remember as being as excited for Terrell as most are for White. I remember Terrell getting drafted and I was happy but I didn't think he was near the talent that White is. Hope this doesn't become true.

I remember the Terrell pick very well. Drafted 8th overall, first WR taken. He was anointed the best WR the Bears had before he stepped on the field, and then Marty Booker ran circles around him. Every WR kind of sucked in the first round that year except Reggie Wayne, so it wasn't that great of a class. Still, I've had a similar vibe since they drafted White. Terrell really only had one good year at college too. It is true that Kevin White's one good year was a really good year, but I still have my doubts. We'll see. Hope I'm wrong and White is what the Bears hope he'll be in the pros. Given how many colossal first round draft busts the Bears have had in the last 20 + years, I'm to the point where I just expect whoever it is to be a bust.Hawkeye21 said:
