Scouting Notes
- Elite size, agility, bend combo.
- Explosive off the snap.
- Uses leverage very well.
- Struggles mightily to disengage and implement a plan.
- Got pushed back very far by bigger blockers way too often.
- Not very productive.
- Lock of moves and functional strength.
- Unimpactful most snaps.
- Play strength is FAR below the expected for his size.
Short Summary
Keion White has some enticing traits, but also some concerning ones. He has the elite size-agility combo that is extremely coveted in the NFL. It is in the echelon of the rare body types, making him possibly worth an early pick.
At the same time, he doesn’t play nearly tough or strong enough for his size. If he adds size, he could lose the agility that makes him special, and if he loses weight, I can’t imagine him gaining functional strength and power.
It seems like there’s no path to improvement for Keion White, but there are some traits that are worth betting on. He could be a steal in the 2nd round, and with the right coaching, he has elite potential.
Scouting Card Key
- Age refers to the age of the player come draft night, rounded to the nearest half-age.
- Percentage numbers in the Player Info and Combine Stats sections – This refers to the percentile that number belongs to among all players at his position, going back nearly a decade.
- GP – Games Played
- TFLs – Tackles for Loss
- FF – Forced Fumbles
- PR Grade – Pass Rush Grade.
- PRS – Pressures.
- Missed Tackles – Missed tackle rate. Percentiles of these stats are inverse; the higher the number, the lower the percentile. Naturally, players with more playing time will rack up higher numbers, even in the rate category.
- IDL Snap% – Percentage of snaps played on the defensive interior (between the tackles).
- EDGE Snap% – Percentage of snaps played on the defensive edge (over or outside the tackle).
- Reaction – Reactionary speed.
