White was hit hard several times by Buffalo Bills defenders…resulting in serious hits to his ribs. And while White got knocked out of the game multiple times yesterday…he came back each and every time and finished the game!

The toughness that Mike White exhibited was truly incredible. Following the loss to Buffalo (20 to 12), Jets players had only one positive thing to say…and it was all about Mike White. His team-mates praised him highly and said they were inspired by him. White ended up having to go to the hospital to get X-rays on his ribs.

Jets head coach Robert Saleh had this to say about White: “I think he showed resolve, toughness, everything that we’ve been seeing.” So, the question is- will we ever see Zach Wilson as Jets starting QB again? Between White’s play, toughness, and leadership abilities…I think the starting job his all his. I’m Davey Mac…that’s my two cents.
