The Alabama catch was legendary for wide receiver Squirrel White<\/p>\n
White had his moment of greatness during the catch. The former Tennessee transfer had to go full extension to ensure that he caught it. It was a perfect throw by Castellanos, but an even better effort by White. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the veteran didn’t do anything the rest of the season, finishing with 5 receptions for 52 yards and 0 touchdowns (according to ESPN Stats and Information). The thought process before the 2025 campaign began was that White could be a number two option behind Duce Robinson.<\/p>\n
He dealt with injuries throughout his college career, including during his time at Florida State. Then there were times when he actually was open on the field, and the football wasn’t thrown his way. <\/p>\n
As a senior, White declared for the 2026 NFL Draft and was picked up by the Chicago Bears with an undrafted free agent deal. This was expected, given the lack of productivity. It was announced on Monday afternoon that he will be retiring from the NFL. <\/p>\n
#Bears<\/a> WR Squirrel White, who they signed as an undrafted free agent out of Florida State on April 25, is retiring from the NFL, the team announced.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) May 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Health likely played a huge factor in his decision to retire from the NFL without truly even getting started. To be honest, I hope for the best for White because he is a talented player who showed flashes at Tennessee when healthy. Nonetheless, I hope that he finds a suitable environment for himself outside of football for him to flourish in. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
