Irving Fryar was chosen in the regular draft. White was the 4th pick after Steve Young, Mike Rozier and Gary Zimmerman.
The first year of free agency in the NFL saw one of the best defensive players in history make a surprising move that helped return the Packers to championship form. White left the Eagles and signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the Packers in 1993.
