Former No. 7 overall pick in 2015 Kevin White is desperately attempting to shrug off the bust label in his fourth year as a pro. The Chicago Bears receiver took a big step in the right direction on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Late in the first quarter, White broke loose down the left sideline and was wide open for an easy touchdown pass from Chase Daniel. Twenty-nine yards later, he was celebrating with his teammates.

This was the first touchdown White has ever scored as a pro.
Since being selected No. 7 overall in 2015, White has managed to appear in just five games for the Bears. Multiple injuries have derailed his career thus far, and he’s certainly no lock to make the team’s final roster this summer.
Safe to say, this will help his cause.
