Devin White Aims for Pro Bowl Comeback with Las Vegas Raiders

Devin White joins the Las Vegas Raiders on a one-year deal, aiming to return to his Pro Bowl form and make a significant impact on the team's defense.

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Devin White is determined to prove his worth with the Las Vegas Raiders. After a series of challenging seasons, White is ready to reclaim his status as one of the NFL's elite linebackers.

A New Beginning

White, who was a key player in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl LV victory, signed a one-year deal with the Raiders this offseason. The move comes after a less-than-stellar stint with the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans, where he struggled to find his footing.

Pro Bowl Aspirations

At 27, White believes he still has what it takes to perform at a Pro Bowl level. 'I've still got goals to hit,' White said. 'So, [by] reaching my goals, they'll find out, and they'll remember.'

Revamped Linebacker Corps

The Raiders have undergone significant changes in their linebacker room. With the departures of Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo, the team brought in White, Elandon Roberts, and Germaine Pratt to bolster their defense.

A Familiar Face

White's decision to join the Raiders was influenced by his relationship with general manager John Spytek, who he worked with during his time in Tampa Bay. 'We [have] a genuine relationship,' White said. '[His kids] used to wear my jersey and everything.'

Health and Versatility

White is feeling healthier than ever after dealing with a lingering foot injury. 'Some things in my foot that [were] very triggering and trying to play through it,' White said. 'But now I'm able to be myself and have fun.'

Leadership on Defense

White has already made an impact as a leader on defense. Safety Isaiah Pola-Mao praised White's experience and leadership. '[White has] seen it, he's done it, and he knows what it's supposed to look like,' Pola-Mao said. 'So, having him on the field is almost like a second coach.'

Training Camp Competition

With the addition of Pratt, the competition for starting linebacker spots is heating up. Coach Pete Carroll is excited about the possibilities. 'To put these three guys together where they're on the field at the same time, that's a loaded-up group,' Carroll said. 'And they're all tough and they're all physical and they're all downhill players, which is the style that we love to play with.'

Looking Ahead

As the Raiders aim for a turnaround after three straight losing seasons, they will rely heavily on White's experience and versatility. If he can return to his Pro Bowl form, it could be a game-changer for the team.

Stay tuned as Devin White and the Las Vegas Raiders gear up for what promises to be an exciting NFL season.
