He does a great job reading quarterbacks eyes, and if they make a mistake, he’s quick to capitalize with a turnover. White could be in for a big role with the Chargers in 2023, and with all the other elite talent Corner Canyon possesses, he could get plenty of opportunities to pick off passes.

Dockery decimates offenses with impressive closing speed. Quarterbacks will think they have an open receiver, but then Dockery comes in out of nowhere to deflect passes.
