Devin White is a great NFL linebacker. Why do you think he isn’t?
2020: 140 tackles with 9 sacks
2021: 128 tackles with 3.5 sacks
2022: 124 tackles with 5.5 sacks
2023: 83 tackles with 2.5 sacks/2 ints

Can you post actual arguments about his play?

Great NFL linebackers don't get let go and then signed to 1-year deals for small money.

White's name is arguably bigger than his recent reputation, as the former No. 5 overall draft pick was demoted late in the 2023 season for a playoff-bound Buccaneers team. His apparent tendency to freestyle within Todd Bowles' defense reportedly had a hand in his benching, though the ex-LSU star posted gaudy numbers earlier in his career.

quote:

White also was famously called out by Bucs legend Warren Sapp for loafing against Baltimore on Thursday Night Football in 2022. In the same game, White got absolutely owned by Crows center Tyler Linderbaum.

I can't find the article now but it listed several plays in big playoff games where he whiffed on tackles because he was freestyling.

Chauncey does the same thing, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

Go look what most Bucs fans had to say about him even before he left the team. It wasn’t favorable

His own team didn’t think highly about their former 1st round pick.
He also wasn’t this highly sought after target by other teams.
You might not like PFF but yet another group that thought lowly of him

Yet somehow he’s this great LB. Raw stats aren’t super telling especially tackle numbers for a LB

He has been a very up and down player since that one insane post season. He’s physically very talented but sucks in coverage and despite his gaudy tackle numbers takes bad angles on tackles too often.
