NFL's Most Overrated Player at Each Position Entering 2024 Season | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected him with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Devin White got his NFL career off to a white-hot start.

As a rookie, he tallied 91 tackles, four fumble recoveries (including two for touchdowns), three forced fumbles, 2.5 sacks, one interception and three pass breakups. The following year, he tallied a career-high 140 tackles and 9.0 sacks en route to a second-team All-Pro nod and a Super Bowl victory.

Things took a turn for the worse in 2021. Despite garnering his lone Pro Bowl nod, White's production dipped across the board. His PFF grade, which was already awful during his first two seasons, fell to an abysmal 36.2 that season.

White tends to be a liability in coverage, which contributed to those brutal marks. He allowed completion rates of 75 percent or higher in each of his first four seasons, including 70 catches on 84 targets in 2020 and 64 completions on 78 targets in 2021.

White, who has missed plenty of key tackles and gives up big plays as often as he makes them, was even benched for the first time in his career at the tail end of last season. According to Tampa Bay Times insider Rick Stroud, White reportedly rubbed coaches and teammates the wrong way with his attitude.

It seems the league took note of that this offseason, as White wound up signing a one-year, $4 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency. One year ago, he pushed for an extension that would pay him upward of $20 million annually.

White will likely get plenty of chances to prove himself on an Eagles team that fielded one of the league's worst linebacking corps last year. Relying on him to play a key role could come back to burn the Eagles, though.
