White was cursed by #13 obviously
Definitely an unlucky 13. Here's White on the change:
"I was never a big fan of 13," White told ChicagoBears.com. "It hasn't been my best number. So it's time to turn the page and get back to my old ways when I was 11 back in college [at West Virginia]. Mentally, it's time for a change and a new chapter."
White will wear No. 11 in due in part to his great admiration for Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, a player that White has idolized since high school. The two met for the first time in 2015 when White was preparing for the NFL Combine and remain in frequent contact.
"The best advice he's given me is 'respect all; fear none,'" White said. "He has a big influence on me—following Christianity, eating right, taking care of my body and just preparing every day.
"You want to be the person on a team where guys say, ‘Wow, Kevin is doing everything right.' Larry has been in the league for 13 years and he still takes notes. He still does the little things and it's the little things that matter. So big ups to Larry. That's my guy I look towards."
"Mentally and physically I feel a lot better," he said. "It's a fresh start and a clean slate for me."
