The 2018 fourth-round pick from West Virginia, had 144 tackles, seven TFLs, and two interceptions for the Chargers in 2021.

White, a converted safety with solid coverage skills, should start as opposite T.J. Edwards in Jonathan Gannon's defense.

In the Eagles Week 8 loss to Los Angels,  White had eight tackles, including one for loss.
