Indianapolis Colts Offseason 2012: Colts Waive Wide Receiver Blair White

The Indianapolis Colts 2012 housecleaning project has continued, as the team decided to waive wide receiver Blair White today.  

Originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State in 2010, White became a rookie revelation, earning the trust of quarterback Peyton Manning and catching 36 passes, for 355 yards and five scores in his inaugural pro campaign.

His 2011 was far less productive, as White was limited to just seven games after suffering a knee injury in October, and finished without a catch.

The Saginaw, Michigan native starred as a Spartan, catching 116 passes in 40 games played, to go along with 1,674 career receiving yards.  A dedicated student-athlete, White received both first team Academic All-American and first team Academic All Big Ten honors as a collegiate.

As a result of his release, White can now be claimed by any team off of waivers.  If multiple teams place a claim on him, the team with the worse record from 2011 will take priority.  

White displayed sharp route running ability and dependable hands during his time at Michigan State and in his rookie season, and would figure to land on another team before training camp.  He possesses very good quickness and above average strength for the position as well.
