White, 26, has played all five of his NFL seasons in Tampa Bay after the Bucs selected him No. 5 overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. A one-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion, he's started 75 of 76 career games.

In his career, White has posted 566 total tackles, 23 sacks, six forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries, three interceptions, 21 passes defended, and two defensive touchdowns, both of which came during his rookie season.
