02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Bills utilize a versatile 4-3 defense with a strong emphasis on disciplined zone coverages and aggressive but controlled pass rush schemes.

WILL Linebacker (4-3)SAM LinebackerNickel BackerSpecial Teams Ace
Best role

White projects as a Year 1 special teams contributor and depth WILL linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable starter who excels in coverage and provides solid run support.

Wrong fit

A purely two-gap 3-4 defense that emphasizes shedding blocks at the point of attack over sideline-to-sideline pursuit and coverage skills would significantly diminish his impact.

His athleticism and coverage ability align perfectly with the modern NFL's demand for linebackers who can defend the pass and excel in space.
