Jim White (defensive end)

[1][2] After spending two years in community college at Northeastern Junior College,[2] White attended Colorado State University, where he played for the Colorado State Rams football team and lettered from 1968 to 1970,[3] playing tight end, fullback, and defensive end.

He was initially used as a tight end, making two receptions for 28 yards,[2] but played defensive end for the majority of his time with the Lions until he was cut from the team on September 15, 1971, being replaced by former Michigan defensive lineman Pete Newell.

[12] White remained the starting left end for six straight games, all losses for the Patriots.

[14] Later on September 9, White was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Seahawks for their inaugural season.

He played in the team's first two games, both losses against the St. Louis Cardinals and the Washington Redskins, before being released on September 27, 1976.

[18] White was absent from the Broncos' four-day camp in May 1977, leading to the conclusion that he had been waived, though teams were not required to release waiver lists.
