But his lack of help from the defense, particularly the secondary, made it impossible for him to take the Packers further. If the Packers can straighten the secondary up, the Packers can get to the Super Bowl.

Former LSU CB Tre’Davious White went into this draft process this offseason with questions about his speed. And he answered those questions emphatically with a 4.47 at the NFL Scouting Combine. With that out of the way, scouts can focus on everything else he brings at the CB position.
