Chargers linebacker Kyzir White has played his best football as a professional, which has warranted him into Pro Bowl consideration.
While making his first Pro Bowl appearance would be nice and all, White has his sights set on something much bigger – playing in his home stadium in Super Bowl LVI.
“I would love to get voted into the Pro Bowl, but I would not want to play; I would rather be in the Super Bowl – playing right here in L.A.,” White said. “I would rather get these wins, get into the playoffs, and make a Super Bowl run.”
The Bolts have always had a talented player in White, but he rarely got to show his true colors.
Whether it was due to injuries that limited him in the early years or because his role was never deciphered in Gus Bradley’s defense, White was always lost in the shuffle.
Now in Brandon Staley’s system, which has perfectly catered to his strengths as a player, White has been nothing less than dominant every week.
With his combination of play speed, burst, and instincts to quickly react, White has been an integral piece against the run, in coverage, and as a blitzer.
White has 96 tackles, six for loss, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, two quarterback hits, and a sack through 12 games.
A free agent at the end of the season, White has played his way into a contract extension. Re-signing him would go a long way to defensive continuity and success for the foreseeable future.
