Biggest surprise at Bears-Patriots camp: wide receiver Kevin White

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Saying the 2016 Chicago Bears offense is a work in progress is like announcing Bill Belichick is a good football coach.

No kidding!

But while the offensive line will be a question mark well into the regular season, there's no telling what they will have at running back until the O-line improves. And while tight end won't be a strength, there is something happening to the wide receiver corps.

Forget that Alshon Jeffery actually showed some emotion in a "baseball fight" here with Malcolm Butler on Monday. Through two days of practice, Jeffery has been the best player on the field from either team, with the exception of Tom Brady and perhaps even Kevin White.

Jeffery has gone strong and hard through two physical practices with no soft tissue concerns, and has been unstoppable against the Pats.

But you knew Jeffery could; you're just never sure he will.

The bigger revelation here at "Camp Belichick & Fox" has been White. You can argue that the second-year player selected with the seventh overall pick in last year's draft is seeing his first legitimate NFL test facing one of the league's best teams in these surprisingly physical and extremely competitive practices.

On Tuesday, White won the day, doing the dirty work underneath while Jeffery challenged the secondary. White looked like a seasoned pro.
