OverviewBlair White accepted an invitation to play in East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 23 in Orlando. This will be a great opportunity for White to raise his stock for the NFL Draft in April 2010. The East-West Shrine Game, a college All-Star game, one of several that only include seniors hoping to impress NFL scouts. White led the Spartans in catches 64, receiving yards, 876 and touchdowns, with 8 this season and was named First-Team All-Big Ten by the media. White also was successful in the classroom and was named an Academic All-American with a 3.89 GPA. It’s been quite a run for White, a former walk-on. He broke out at the end of last season with big games against Michigan and Wisconsin and became one of the Big Ten’s top receivers this season. Due to a perceived lack of production during his first three years as a Spartan, NFL teams will need to see him continue to improve. If he can finish strong and run a good time at the NFL Combine he will be drafted.
StrengthsBlair has a large catching radius and he can use his size to attack the ball against smaller defensive backs. He's also much quicker than he looks, and can beat defensive backs deep when they're least expecting it. White's experience as a special teams player his first two years at Michigan State may also prove valuable to an NFL team. He's shifty enough to return punts and can play as a gunner on the punt unit.
WeaknessesNot a blazer and despite having good size he's not very strong, he will need to improve in defeating press coverage.
ProjectionA mid to late round selection, for him it's all about post-season workouts.
