Energy, leadership and confidence | The impact of Tre’Davious White’s return as told by his teammates 

Buffalo’s defense will definitely grow with the addition of the NFL’s interception leader from 2019 season, but the team as a whole will be better off because one of their best leaders is back.

“He does such a great job influencing young members of our team, young members of the defense, of the secondary,” head coach Sean McDermott said. “His energy is infectious.”

“Now that he’s back on the field and in the meeting rooms, you feel his presence,” cornerback Dane Jackson said. “Whether he’s just sitting there or whether he’s making a joke like he usually does. Then the leadership, he’s been a leader since I got here. Even for the older guys, just the way he carries himself off the field.”

White leads the team in a variety of ways on and off the field. But one of the defense’s favorite qualities about the corner has to be his infectious and larger than life personality, which they’re excited to have back in the meeting room.

“He’s one of those guys who keeps it loose,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said of White. “He’s always joking and cracking on his teammates. And you kind of miss that when things get tense in our business because you’re so locked in on trying to get a win. To have a guy who can kind of break it up a little bit, but yet still go out and play at a high level, you need guys like that.”
