"I did hurdle him," White said. "But then I landed on my teammate. It ended up being like a 40-yard return, so that's a good thing."
Then on the second play of Seattle's drive, following the punt return, quarterback Jalen Milroe connected with White for a 25-yard reception. To cap off the drive, White scored with a 18-yard touchdown reception.
"It meant a lot," White said. "That was my first touchdown in the NFL, my one last year got called back, so it was a special moment to have that touchdown."
Head coach Mike Macdonald used a golf reference to explain how good White was on that drive.
"I told him, in golf, when you play a scramble and you get your own eagle, that's what he had on that drive. Giving him the opportunity, he makes plays. I'm happy for him. We've talked about it for two years now, but the guy's worked extremely hard and he earned that today. It was really cool."
Before the game ended, White had added one more reception to his day's stats, finishing the night with three receptions, 69 receiving yards and one touchdown.
