Sherman White (American football)


Sherman Eugene White is a former American football defensive lineman who played in the National Football League between 1972 and 1983. He was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the second overall pick in the 1972 NFL Draft out of the University of California, Berkeley. After playing four seasons with the Bengals, the Buffalo Bills acquired White to replace the person whom the Bills had selected first overall in the same draft: Walt Patulski, who was mired in a squabble with Bills head coach Lou Saban. White went on to play eight seasons with the Bills before retiring.
