I Broke Down Buccaneers LB Devin White's Insane Performance On Sunday In New Orleans

Players have a different perspective than film nerds like me, so earlier this year when Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey called Buccaneers LB Devin White "the best in the league".

Yet despite being a tackling machine and having 9.0 sacks, White didn't make the Pro Bowl and the 2nd year Linebacker out of LSU was understandably bummed. But per Peter King's FMIA column, his Quarterback Tom Brady helped refocus him:

"Few weeks ago, I was kinda upset I didn’t make the Pro Bowl. He’s like, ‘D, there’s a bigger bowl I’m chasing. We’re all chasing it. C’mon.’ I just thought, man, it’s a blessing to hear that.
