White arrived in Southern California in 1978, where he played at Right Guard.  White only had one Pro Bowl as a Charger, but in San Diego, he had four seasons of Approximate Value in double digits, which was compared to the zero he had in Minnesota. The durable Offensive Lineman would only miss two games as a Charger, and Fouts still has not stopped singing his praises, going so far as to say that White should be in the Hall of Fame.

White is, however, in the Chargers Hall of Fame, which he entered in 2004.
