Remember when the Patriots took Keion White in the second round and everyone was excited about the raw athleticism but wondered if it would translate? Well, it's translating — in a big way.
White has racked up 5.5 sacks through six games, putting him on pace for a double-digit sack season that would make him one of the top edge rushers in the AFC. His speed-to-power combination is giving offensive tackles nightmares.
Paired with Christian Barmore on the inside, the Patriots front four is becoming one of the most feared in football. Opposing quarterbacks are feeling the heat, and it's only going to get worse as White continues to develop.
The pipeline of young defensive talent on this team is incredible. Keion White is a cornerstone.
