Chicago Bears: Five players to watch against the Atlanta Falcons

Kevin White

Taken in the first round of the 2015 draft, Kevin White has not came close to matching his high expectations. Whites first two years have been filled with injuries and ineffectiveness. With top wide receiver Cameron Meredith out for the season, White needs to step up and make an impact this season.

Likely the number two wide receivers on the depth chart behind Kendall Wright, White will have a bigger role in the playbook for Sunday. Against a good Falcons secondary, White needs to shake off the bust label and produce in a big game. Although then Bears do expect to run the ball more often than not, White will still be a top target for Mike Glennon in the passing game.

White has been yet to produce in the NFL, but was a very successful top wide receiver in college at West Virginia. College success doesn’t always transfer to the NFL, but  White still has potential as a young wide receiver. In his first showing as a starter, White will look to make a big impact.

This game and season will define the career of Kevin White. If White can produce on  Sunday and beyond, the Bears will have a chance to win. Whites quickness and strong hands will be the key to  his success as long as Mike Glennon can make accurate throws.

If White can produce when called upon, the Bears offense will see the end zone on multiple occasions. Kevin White is the number one player to watch in Sunday’s game.
