Jason White - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**sam** · 10-13-2005, 08:00 AM

And with all the supposed prestige and the incredible hype that surrounds the Heisman, I find that kind of surprising. If the guy is good enough to win the MVP, as it were, you'd think he'd be a first round pick.

Well...look at the facts on White..This coming from a Sooners fan too...

-He'll be 25 by the start of the season.
-He's had HUGE knee injuries and currently has his ligaments have the durability of a wet noodle.
-He's got average-to-below-average arm strength.
-No mobility.

Truth be told, if he woulda went to any mid-level school, he would never have won the Heisman and he would never have been a blip on the radar screen.

The Kansas City Chiefs are giving rookie QB Jason White a shot. He has been invited to the Chiefs rookie mini-camp for this weekend. He will be allowed to compete for a spot. If he does well he might not be picked up by the Chiefs but other teams could show interest which isnt bad for White. He could make it as a back up somewhere in the league.

A lot of Heisman winners are just college players. They are great in college but the jump to the NFL is too much. For every Rashan Salam there is Barry Sanders. For every Ron Dayne there is an Earl Campbell, and for every Jason White or Gino Torretta, there is a Roger Staubach. There have been a lot of Heisman busts and a lot of Heisman greats.

I could see a team like the Vikings, Eagles or Falcons trying him out as a backup type guy. They have good starting QB's but not a lot of depth behind them. It would be an interesting propsect.

**domeffire** · 12-06-2005, 08:00 AM

White was not invited back to the next KC camp. Arm strength is to weak.

**timgillmoreeztf** · 02-01-2006, 08:00 AM

And a lot of Heismen murders...... wasnt OJ a Heismen winner?

**Oxzzlvpg** · 02-22-2006, 08:00 AM

Does anyone else think that's just frigging unbelievable: that the Heisman trophy winner ends up undrafted?

Looking at Past Winners like Crouch, Salaam, Wuerfel, Dayne...It's more a curse to win the Heisman than a blessing.

**Zugaxxsn** · 03-05-2006, 08:00 AM

Well i see White being a third stringer or practice squad type of guy. Atleast right now. I do like the fact hes getting a shot at the NFL. Its only fitting since he gave his all and his knees to the game of football then came back and played well.

Just saw this, am wondering if Charlie Ward was a past winner, as I think he was, if so add him to the list.

Is he still with the Knicks if so?

**Stivenslivakovishhhs** · 04-15-2006, 08:00 AM

Anybody going to give him a chance? I say his past injuries will haunt him.

Falcons have matt schaub and the eagles have mike mcmahon.

Of course, all that begs the question: how did he win the Heisman?

**eXC3Kvnn** · 07-06-2006, 08:00 AM

Arena League here he comes.

**Indinehon** · 07-13-2006, 08:00 AM

Exactly. Carl Peterson told him to hit the Arena league and build up his arm strength. Maybe come back in a couple years.
