I would say change his number to '14, since our '14 season relied on him so much but he's worth twice that. #28 I say ...

never mind

I think he has a good chance to be drafted high if he keeps progressing.

And that's the thing I love most about DJ is his progress. I remember the game he had against Clemson a couple of years back when Taj Boyd and company torched him for multiple big plays. But as I watched I saw that he consistently had good coverage and was just beat by perfect throws. The fact that he bounced back and continued to grow let me know then that DJ has a legit NFL future.

To be fair, he was matched up on Sammy Watkins most of that game. Lots of guys looked pretty bad against him, but like you said he was right there on him all game.

The run down against Pittsburgh that caused the touch back was one of the best "want to" plays of the season. Gotta love him.

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

Lots of great plays last year. One of my faves is definitely him picking up and absolutely planting that mutt.

 

[Longestday]

Those other CBs must be good to leave White off the 1st and 2nd team ACC list. White is the man!

He said that was 'Payback' for Godhigh getting body slammed in 2012. He's a leader of men, in the best way, by example.

[Eastman]

Combines the needed skills with being smart and opportunistic. He definitely should have a nice career at the next level but I am most excited about 2015.

Not only that, but on one of the deep td Sammy pushed off pretty bad. I think it didn't get called though because dj recovered so well and was still right there on him.

The guy gives a good interview too. No BS, well-spoken, and gives logically formed responses that are insightful. Really comes across as a Tech Man.

NO QUIT in DJ either. He's really growing into an all time fave for me.

It is amazing to to see how far back he was and him racing past everyone to get there in time to make the play. Almost like God gave him super natural speed to make that play. That is one of those plays that will be etched in your memory bank forever.

One of my good friends went to school with him. He said he was very smart, and always spoke well, very proper.

What impresses me the most is on a lot of these passes, the QB had a lot of time to get set and throw accurate passes. DJ just had good technique and made good reads.

I think it didn't get called because it was Sammy Watkins. The super star versus the rookie syndrome.

 

[gtg936g]

You don't have an opportunistic defense without some good corners and safeties. Especially when you have to bring 6 to get pressure. I really like our D going into this season. If you go back to the UGA game and watch our guys play, we were by far the more physical team. UGA thought they could run over us and we punched them in the gut the whole game.

 

[Ash]

DJ really was a force on D last year for us. I wish we had a player like him every year. The hustle on the Pitt fumble turned out to be a microcosm of the effort put in by the whole team. Never stop playing and good things will happen.

Good in Man & Zone
Great speed
Good size 5'10-5'11ish
Competes on every play
Sound like a 1st rd grade to me. I know VT's Kendall Fuller and Brandon Facyson will get the hype but I don't think they are the all around CB White is.

The '13 Clemson game is what sold me on DJ. The results didn't reflect his how well of coverage he on Sammy. My biggest question going into 2014 was his ball skills and that is the biggest improvement I saw from him. Now time to turn some more of those PBUs to INT and lockdown that 1st team All-ACCC

He make's the likes of Phil Steele to be a dufus,
