text: White had pre-draft workouts with the Seahawks and the 49ers, who hired Austin to be on Kyle Shanahan's coaching staff this offseason. Austin, a Garfield native, was not at the workout, but he has stayed in contact with White, offering advice as he continued on his path to the NFL.
  White ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash and a 6.77-second 3-cone drill at his Pro Day, and he also posted a 37.5-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot broad jump. His production in four seasons at Monmouth (3,373 receiving yards and 31 touchdowns) is hard to ignore.
  "Just watching him play [on video], we felt like he had the skill and ability to be an NFL player," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said of White. "He runs good routes. He catches the ball well. And he's got pretty good instincts - he's smart. I could see in just the couple of sessions that we've had here that he'll be able to pick it up."
  White embraces the challenge ahead of him, considering this is only the beginning. The rookies will depart for a week before returning to join the veterans for the remainder of the offseason program. The wide receiver room features Sterling Shepard and newcomer Golden Tate, plus returnees Corey Coleman, Cody Latimer and Bennie Fowler, among others. Latimer and Fowler have proven themselves as special teams contributors. Coleman is trying to show he can shed the "draft bust" label that has followed him since his trade from the Browns with a short stop in Buffalo before making the most of an audition with the Giants in the second half of last season.
  Where White fits could depend on how well he connects with rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, considering those two will likely be spending a lot of time on the practice field together between now and training camp, taking reps as they come with Eli Manning and the others getting first-team work.
