Kyzir White, S – West Virginia

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 216 pounds

Age: 21

Projected 40-yard Dash: 4.57

Projected Round: 3-5

Both safety Kurt Coleman and Mike Adams are in the eve of their careers and while Carolina has a number of reserves, their production has been limited. The Panthers need an impact safety who can provide productive downs on defense while learning alongside veterans Coleman and Adams.

Kyzir White from West Virginia, younger brother of former Chicago Bears first-round wide receiver, Kevin White, enjoyed an impressive collegiate career and is expected to improve his current draft projections with a good showing at the Senior Bowl.

"White has good size to him to be a strong safety in the NFL, plus had a solid senior season. He totaled 94 tackles with four passes broken up, two forced fumbles, one sack and three interceptions in 2017. As a junior, he had 58 stops with five breakups, three sacks, and zero picks. White’s strong play earned him an invitation to the Senior Bowl."
