Bears WR Kevin White already creating Rookie of the Year talk

White should replace Brandon Marshall as a top threat for Jay Cutler, along with Alshon Jeffery. Cutler might never lose the interception bug, but he averaged more than 250 yards passing a game and had a career-high 28 touchdowns last year — White should have some big Sundays. He’s the got the speed and ball skills to make big plays, and a knack for coming down with well-contested catches. Chicago wouldn’t have drafted him at No. 7 if the club didn’t have designs on feeding him as many footballs as possible.

White isn’t a finished product, but he can make up for his lack of development as a route-runner with the matchup problems he’ll create at the point of attack. Throw the deep ball, the dig/curl, get him involved in the three-step game or toss it out to the sidelines on the tunnel screen to force cornerbacks to tackle in space.

Definitely studying at the hotel, White said. It’s not just talk on the phone and catch up with family; it’s study for hours and then go to sleep. Maybe call and say goodnight, but studying after.
