Devin White had 23 sacks in five years with Tampa Bay, and aims to show new Philadelphia Eagles DC Vic Fangio that he can put that skill set to use.
PHILADELPHIA – It’s been a while since the Eagles have had a linebacker quick and savvy enough to be disruptive as a rush the passer. Devin White may be that linebacker, though.
Linebackers have come and gone since Joyner left town after the 1993 season and two consecutive Pro Bowls to play three years with the Arizona Cardinals followed by a year each with the Green ay Packers and Denver Broncos. None have come close to what Joyner put up as a pass rushing linebacker. But, and maybe this is an awfully big but, perhaps Fangio sees a skill set that White possessed in his first five seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he registered 23 sacks. In his second year in the league, he had nine. Two years ago, he had 5.5.
