White staking his calm as one of the NFL's Best

It’s a standard Wednesday at One Bills Drive, with reporters and cameras scattered throughout the Bills locker room. Tre’Davious White isn’t hard to find, however.

While taping a promotional video for the team’s website — for the prestigious “Tre’Davious White Goalie Academy,” of course — White is standing on a bench, goaltender equipment in hand, smiling and shouting at the top of his lungs.

Four days later, White’s other side is on display for the whole world to see. Locked in and focused during a surprisingly tight game against the winless Miami Dolphins, he keys in on a Ryan Fitzpatrick throw jumps the route and saves the day. That, along with a forced fumble midway through the fourth quarter, ultimately turns the game in Buffalo’s favor in a 31-21 victory.

White is known for his fun-loving, outgoing personality. But it’s actually his serious, businesslike approach to the game of football that has him on the path to becoming one of the very best cornerbacks in the league.

In other words, there’s a lot more to it than just fun and games.

“I just feel like people don’t know how much effort and how much time I put into my game, into my craft,” White said.

Diggs was clearly amped up and ready to go as the Bills began their preparations for the new season, leading the huddle and supporting his teammates as they kicked off training camp in Orchard Park. Diggs recently touched on his goals for the upcoming season for both himself and the team in an informative discussion with members of the media. Here are the highlights from that discussion.

RUNNING BACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Aaron Jones, Packers 5-9 • 208 pounds • 27 years old A fifth-round steal in the 2017 draft out of UTEP, Jones is equally proficient in the running and passing games. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards the last two years, and caught 49 and 47 passes, respectively. He’s also a touchdown machine with 30 TDs the last two years (25 rushing and 5 receiving). The son of two career Army officers, he’s a tough, driven player and the kind of guy players want on their team.

QUARTERBACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Dak Prescott, Cowboys 6-2 • 235 pounds • 27 years old A solid starter who has a nice TD-INT ratio over his first five seasons (104-40), Prescott is an accurate thrower and very mobile. However, he’s coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, so it remains to be seen if this will impact his game moving forward.

Hunter Henry, Chargers 6-5 • 250 pounds • 29 years old A very talented player, Henry has had issues staying healthy, unable to complete an NFL season, including missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL. But when healthy, he’s a terrific all-around tight end who really connected with Justin Herbert in 2020 with 60 catches. Henry is very good at finding holes in zone coverage.
