The Bears Replace Marshall with WR Kevin White

West Virginia Wide Receiver Kevin White has been drafted by the Chicago Bears, he is set to replace Brandon Marshall.

White is the prototypical next generation wide receiver. He stands 6’3, and runs a 4.34 40 yard dash, one of the best in this year’s draft class. He had an outstanding senior year at WVU. He caught 109 balls for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.

White took an unconventional route to the NFL Draft. He first succeeded at the JUCO level as a standout for Lackawanna College before he transferred to West Virginia.

Since most of his production at WVU came in one year, many experts wonder if White’s success will actually translate to the NFL. PredictionMachine.com's Matt Richner told Armen and Levack that he believes White will be the bust of the draft for that reason.

The 2015 NFL Draft this year was held in Chicago, Illinois. It's the first time that the event was not at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The new environment brought the majority of the first round draft picks, but not the top two, Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston.
