Chicago Bears: Kevin White looks absolutely ripped in latest photo
By Ryan Heckman
The Chicago Bears may not know what they have in him, but Kevin White sure looks like he is ready to prove all the doubters wrong.
As the 2018 NFL Combine went into full swing Saturday, the wide receivers took center stage. You better believe Ryan Pace and the Chicago Bears brass were paying close attention. They need all the help they can get in that department.
One reason why the Bears are so receiver-needy is due to the lack of consistency at the position, specifically due to injuries. Even dating back to Alshon Jeffery a couple of years back, the Bears haven’t been able to see the same guys on the field for them at the receiver position for very long.
Jeffery struggled with injuries at times, and last year both Cameron Meredith and Kevin White were out for the entire season. White, though, has been through a course of awful luck.

After being drafted as the Bears first round selection in 2015, White missed his entire rookie season with a fracture in his shin. His sophomore season, he only played four games due to a fractured fibula and severe ankle sprain.
Fast forward to his third season as a pro, and White was injured in week one, fracturing his scapula and missing the rest of the year.
You could say he is probably down to his last shot to make an impact in the NFL.
While at the combine, NFL insider Ian Rapoport met up with White’s family. Check out the short exchange below.

I suppose as a Bears fan, that photo is quite encouraging. White looks to be in the best shape of his life. But, the real question is, how have his bones healed up?

On the outside, he looks jacked, of course. Hopefully he is just as healthy on the inside as well. Fans can only hope that he can stay on the field in 2018 and have even a remote impact. We can do nothing but wish him well at this point.
