From the little I've watched, his instincts don't sniff Roquan's. But he does look as athletic and bigger, too.
This. Roquan had elite level football instincts and he has shown them off in the NFL. White is not at the same level.

He had a couple legal incidents in HS. Neither appear to involve violence, but I'm sure there'll be plenty digging pre-draft.

Originally posted by OnTheClock:I know many are high on White but I'm just not seeing the same caliber of prospect. Granted he still has a lot of upside. But he seems like a riskier pick at this point to me.

Any idea what they were? Had absolutely nothing against taking this kid (If we trade down a few spots), until I read this, losing first round talents to legal issues is an absolute killer, which is still very fresh with Froster.
Charged on Nov. 20 with having "carnal knowledge" of a 14-year-old girl, according to The Shreveport Times, White was barred from the Under Armour All-America Game. He admitted to "trying" to have consensual sex with the juvenile, Springhill police chief Will Lynd told the media. Louisiana law requires a four-year age difference for a felony charge, so White, 17, was charged with a misdemeanor. North Webster teammate Ke'Untra Gipson was arrested on the same charges, according to media reports.
A month later, White was ticketed for "careless operation of a motor vehicle and misdemeanor flight from an officer," according to KTBS-TV. After receiving a speeding ticket on Christmas Day, White did not immediately pull over when Cullen (La.) police attempted to stop him for speeding again later in the day, leading to the additional charges, the Shreveport-based television news station reported.

He's kind of like the Eric Reid of MLBs: super jacked, awesome burst, weird on contact, slightly stiff, maybe more athletic/reactive than instinctive.
