Former Miami Dolphins quarterback and West Virginia Mountaineers star Pat White has signed with the Kansas City Royals. White was recently cut by the Dolphins after being selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
White, 24, will play outfield for the Royals in their minor league farm system.
At 6'0, 190 pounds, White was labeled too small to play in the NFL. The athletic lefty quarterback could not transfer his stand-out collegiate career in Morgantown to the professional level. He failed to complete any of his five pass attempts last season and was used sparingly in games, mainly in the Wildcat formation. The Dolphins elected to keep Chad Henne, Chad Pennington and Tyler Thigpen over White at quarterback.
White is familiar to America's past time, being selected in the fourth round in 2004 by the Los Angeles Angels of Anahem. White nixed the draft pick, but was selected yet again by the Reds four years later and the Yankees the following year.
White played outfield at Daphne high school in Alabama.
