Bears fans anxiously awaited seeing Kevin White on the field for the first time last week. What they saw was unfortunately only one catch for three yards. Again, White was part of an offensive unit that was out of sync all night so a mediocre performance was due to the unit and not due to him specifically.

Hopefully the Bears are able to open the offense a little more this week and we can see White try and catch a ball 15-20 yards down the field. It would be nice to give White an opportunity to flash some of that athleticism that we have heard so much about.

White had a good week of practices against the Patriots, even Bill Belichick talked about how impressive the Bears passing game could be with White and Alshon Jeffery. Bears fans should keep an eye on the second-year wide out and see if his great week of practices translates into a great performance tonight.
