MOBILE, Ala. — Kyzir White has been tempted to fire off an angry tweet or two over the last few years as his older brother — Bears wide receiver Kevin White — has been the subject of plenty of negativity on social media.

“It’s definitely difficult for me,” White said. “If I see anything on Twitter, I kind of want to respond but I don’t because that’s my big brother at the end of the day. I don’t like people talking bad about him. I know what he brings to the table.”

White, like his older brother, played football at West Virginia, and is here in Mobile for the Senior Bowl hoping to begin to impress teams looking for a strong safety in April’s NFL Draft. The Bears drafted White’s older brother with the No. 7 overall pick three years ago, and three separate season-ending injuries (leg, collarbone) have limited White to 21 receptions and 193 yards in only five NFL games.

In the coming weeks, the Bears will have to decide whether or not to exercise their fifth-year option on White. Given his lack of experience and injury history, there’s certainly a possibility that option is declined — though it’s unlikely the Bears would release him prior to the 2018 season.

“(It’s) very frustrating,” Kyzir White said. “He’s very talented, the hardest worker I know. Just the cards he’s being dealt right now aren’t the best, so he just has to stick it out.

“I just pretty much told him God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers. He’s obviously putting you through this for a reason. You can handle it. Just keep going, don’t listen to the outside noise, he’ll be good.”

The White brothers — Kizer, Kevin and Ka’Raun, a draft-eligible wide receiver who had over 1,000 for West Virginia in 2017, too — are training together at EXOS in Phoenix, and Kyzir said Kevin is “doing real good” as he rehabs the broken collarbone that he suffered Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons in September.

The Bears have White for one more year that could be a make-or-break season for his future in the league — but then again, the same could be said for cornerback Kyle Fuller, who was in a similar situation a year ago when his fifth-year option was declined.

As for Kyzir, he has little doubt his brother can follow the same path and prove he can still be the guy in whom the Bears invested so much three years ago.

“I know a lot of people got a lot of bad stuff to say, but when he turns it around, you’ll see,” White said. “They’ll see for sure.”
