White went on to have an even more legendary NFL career, making 13 Pro Bowls with the Eagles and Packers, but it all began as a Tennessee Volunteer. He was taken far too soon at the age of 43, but his memory lives on thanks to his great play and the kind words spoken about him by so many.
Anyone who appreciated White's dominating presence off the edge should watch the entire video shared by the Vols. Those from younger generations can also learn a thing or two about The Minister.
