Rule #3: He must have clean character marks
When we say clean, we mean squeaky clean. It was clear from the moment he took over that Pace intended to change the locker room culture. A big part of that was targeting players with high character. What does that mean? For the most part it means no off-the-field issues, no problems involving confrontations with teammates/coaches, glowing marks for work ethic and a love for football.
White fought his way up from junior college just to get a scholarship at West Virginia. From there he kept working until he became the seventh pick of the 2015 draft. Only a man who loves football would deal with that sort of difficult path. Floyd by all accounts was a humble kid from Georgia. He never once got in trouble at school and even referred to most people as “sir.” Suffice to say if a top prospect in this 2016 class has a character flag of any kind, cross him off the list of possibilities.
