Since receiver Kevin White was selected by the Bears with the seventh pick in the 2015 draft, he has finished each of his first two seasons on injured reserve after undergoing leg surgery.
Despite the ominous start to his career, Bears general manager Ryan Pace still believes that White possesses the same explosiveness that helped him run a blazing 4.35 in the 40 at the Combine.
"This is 100 percent recoverable," Pace said this week.
"It was the same leg, but it was two different injuries. So I feel he's in a really good spot with that right now. He's such a positive outlook guy. Kevin is wanting to go, go, go, go, and I'm always like slow down on this, let's make sure we're doing this right so when you come back everything is in line—your gait, your hips, your hamstrings—so you're ready to go full speed."
White missed his entire rookie season in 2015 with a stress fracture in his left leg. He returned to play in the first four games this season before sustaining a fractured fibula and high ankle sprain in the same leg in a Week 4 win over the Lions.
White was placed on injured reserve after catching 19 passes against the Texans, Eagles, Cowboys and Lions—the most ever by a Bears player in the first four games of a season.

You guys agree he will come back explosive or is he our next bust?
