A Nice Pre-Draft Article on Pat White

[PALMA]

In case this hasn't been posted already.

If ever there was a melding of just the right player at just the right time in the NFL draft, it would seem to be exactly now for the multi-faceted White, thanks to the high-profile success the Miami Dolphins had last season running the Wildcat. To hear league personnel scouts tell it, White could wind up being the NFL's wildest cat of all, out-doing even Ronnie Brown, the Wildcat's current poster-child and, somewhat by default, it's modern-day historical measuring stick.

"I'm still working to be a quarterback, and until somebody tells me no, I'm going to continue to,'' said White at this year's NFL Scouting Combine, striking what I thought was the pitch-perfect tone for his particular situation. "I also want to keep my options open and [have] the best opportunity to play football. If that's the case, I do whatever's best for me.''

"Pat White, he's an intriguing guy,'' said Colts president Bill Polian, whose opinions on personnel, based on track record, should count twice as much as almost anyone one else's in the NFL. "Here's a guy who can clearly throw the ball very well, and obviously is a great runner. Is there a role for him? We've already seen it with Slash [Stewart]. We've seen it with Antwaan Randle El to a lesser degree than Slash. The game has always evolved, so I would think it would continue to evolve.''
