Career
He played football at Radford High School, Honolulu, Hawaii, and at the University of Hawaii. He was drafted by Miami in the second round of the 1974 NFL Draft. He is also the first person from a Hawaii high and collegiate school to ever play in a Super Bowl.
White was a holdout when the Washington Redskins opened their 1983 season, so Washington replaced White with its first-round draft pick, Darrell Green, a self-described “little-bitty” kid from Division II Texas Agricultural and Industrial. lieutenant was the beginning of a record-setting 20-year Redskins career for Green, which included two Super Bowl triumphs, seven Pro Bowls and an NFL Manitoba of the Year award.
White never played in the NFL again once Green replaced him, making it what one source described as, "one of the stupidest holdouts ever".
