White started his professional career with the Eagles during the 1985 season. He immediately made his presence felt, playing in 13 games and making a total of 100 tackles in his rookie season. After that, he made every Pro Bowl until 1998. He was also named to the First-Team All-Pro team for six years straight. After spending eight years with the Eagles, he packed up his bags and moved to Wisconsin.
He spent six years with the Packers. He made two more First-Team All-Pro teams in Green Bay and was still a valuable member of the D-line. He finished with a total of 1111 tackles, 198.0 sacks, three interceptions, and 33 forced fumbles.
For him to be considered as the greatest defender by a player of Taylor's stature is a big thing. Taylor is one of the best pass rushers in the game, notching a ton of sacks on some of the best quarterbacks the game has to offer. For a player of his caliber to put White on such a pedestal is a testament to his effectiveness as a defensive end.
