Sports Illustrated's list of the "Ten Most Revolutionary Defensive Players of All Time" includes one Eagle. One guess as to who it could be?
White had incredible speed and strength, but he was also uniquely gifted as a pass rusher because of his ability to get offensive linemen off balance. White used his famous "swim method" or a "club" move to set up defenders, but he might switch up his moves on every down. White was impossible to stop with one blocker and subsequent pass-rushers learned from his moves and relentless style.
#6 is pretty low for arguably the greatest defensive lineman to ever play the game. Dick Butkis, Ronnie Lott, Deacon Jones, Deion Sanders, & Lawrence Taylor finished ahead of him.
