The wait is over for Keion White.
The standout Georgia Tech edge rusher was selected in the second round (No. 46 overall) by the Patriots on Friday night. White was one of 17 players invited to Kansas City by the NFL for Thursday’s first round, but he wound up being among four prospects left waiting in the green room at the end of the evening.
So perhaps that explains why White was easily able to contain his enthusiasm when his name finally was called on behalf of New England.
