I think White will be a better player because he was drafted so late. He will be in a total snit to show that he is better than everyone thinks he is.
I heard it somewhere that you cannot motivate top college players with praise. They have been praised since they were five years old and takeit as thier due. You only motivate top college players with criticism. It stings, they feel it is unfair and inaccurate, get personally angry at the criticizer, and will do almost anything to prove the detractor wrong. (come to think of it, this works for certain grizzled NFL vets, too)
LenDale White has a much better chance at being a great NFL back BECAUSE he was drafted so late,not in spite of it.
No one questions his talent. It is only his desire to work that is in question, and his desire has been ramped up.
