NFL fans thought Keion White wasn’t thrilled to be drafted by the Patriots

The NFL Draft is one of the biggest days in the life of any player lucky enough to be selected.

With that being said, former Georgia Tech edge rusher Keion White didn’t seem particularly happy when his name was called by the New England Patriots in the second round on Friday night with the 46th pick.

White, whose reaction was shown via a remote camera from his home in Atlanta, barely reacted when he was drafted, remaining eerily stone-faced throughout.

Unsurprisingly, many fans took this to mean White — who transferred to the Yellow Jackets after beginning his career at Old Dominion as a tight end — wasn’t happy with his selection by New England in the second round.

Certainly, it’s unfair to read too much into his reaction at such a pivotal moment in his life, and it would be understandable if he was frustrated that he wasn’t selected on Thursday night. Some saw White as a first-round prospect entering the draft.

It’s also entirely possible that the broadcast was receiving a delayed feed and he hadn’t heard the news at this point..

Regardless, it may not be a bad idea to smile a bit more when he’s formally introduced by the team, though.
