Even before what went down Sunday in the snowy, rainy chill of Western New York, White would have won a popularity contest among his teammates in a landslide.
“He’s a f–king soldier,’’ running back Michael Carter said. “No disrespect to Zach [Wilson] or Joe [Flacco], but it’s really cool to play with him. I love him.’’ With 6:36 remaining in the first half, Buffalo defensive tackle Ed Oliver tattooed his No. 91 on White’s chest with a bone-crunching hit that left White on the frozen turf writhing in pain. That injury came as White stood in the pocket long enough to complete a 24-yard pass to Elijah Moore.
Jets head coach Robert Saleh said White on Sunday “showed everybody else what we already knew in regard to how tough he is,’’ adding, “I thought he showed resolve, toughness, everything we’ve been seeing. He’s a good player. He’s tough.’’ “If he’s able to walk, run or throw the ball he’s going to be out there and that’s just a testament to his courage and his mindset, that’s just who he is,’’ linebacker C.J. Mosley said.
