NEW YORK CITY - Jordan White was the 244th overall selection of the 2012 National Football League Draft and the N.Y. Jets's seventh round selection on Saturday afternoon.  John Potter was the 251st overall selection of this year's NFL Draft and is now a Buffalo Bill.

White joins Greg Jennings as the only two wide receivers to ever hear their names on draft day as Jennings, a member of the Super Bowl XLV Champion Green Bay Packers, was the 52nd pick of the 2006 NFL Draft.

Potter is in select company as well, joining Dale Livingston, as the second kicker to be drafted in program history and the first in more than 40 years (1968).

Being the second Bronco WR drafted is one of the few things White ranks second in program history as holds all but one receiving record at WMU.  The 2011 season was one for the ages as White led the nation in receptions per game (10.8) and receiving yards per game (147.0), not to mention total receptions (140) and yards (1,911).

Potter and White are also the fifth and sixth WMU players drafted in the seventh round of the NFL Draft.  They join Ray Bray (Chicago Bears, 1939), Bill Slate (Minnesota Vikings, 1972), Super Bowl XXXIV Champion with the St. Louis Rams Tom Nutten (Buffalo Bills, 1995) and current Tampa Bay Buccaneer E.J. Biggers (Tampa Bay Buccaneer, 2009).

White eclipsed the Mid-American Conference record for career receiving yards (4,187) and tied the career mark for catches (306).  Though there were many during White's six-year career, the 2011 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, his last in a WMU uniform, was White's coming out party.

In front of a national audience and against a freshman All-American cornerback, White racked up a single-game record 265 yards on 13 catches, including a one-handed grab that was rated the night's top play on ESPN's SportsCenter.

For all of his on-the-field efforts, White became Western Michigan football's first-ever Consensus All-American, earning spots on the Walter Camp, American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and Associated Press All-American Teams.

White entered the WMU football program in 2006 as an heir apparent to Jennings.  Fans, and White, would have no idea that this moniker would not come to fruition until his fifth year.  White missed all of 2006 and 2008 due to injury.  He showed a flash of what was to come against Ball State in 2007 on a 50-yard TD catch and run on a seam route, the first of his 32 on his career (one of only two receiving records he does not own at WMU - TDs in a game, career).

Potter, like White, laid claim to the WMU record book during his career.  Not only is he the program's all-time leading scorer (333), he is also the program and MAC record holder in consecutive PATs made in a career (129).  He broke his own PATs made in a season record in 2011 with 57, besting his previous mark of 54 set in 2010.  

Potter has made nine PATs in a game twice, eight once and seven, three times in his career.  He also has the fifth most field goals in a career (16) in program history.  On top of all of that, Potter is a gamer, as the program's record holder for tackles by a specialist with 36 stops on special teams in his career.

Maybe the most impressive stat for Potter in 2011 was the number of touchbacks he recorded as a senior with 36 this past year.

Potter and White are the seventh and eighth players from the Mid-American Conference to be drafted in 2012 after Brandon Brooks (OG, Miami) went to the Houston Texans, Bernard Pierce (RB, Temple) went to the Baltimore Ravens in the third round, Evan Rodriguez (TE, Temple) went to the Chicago Bears in the fourth round, Tahir Whitehead (OLB, Temple) went to the Detroit Lions in the fifth round and Lavon Brazill (WR, Ohio) went to the Indianapolis Colts in the sixth round.  NIU's Chandler Harnish became the ninth as he was selected by the Colts with the 253rd and final pick of the draft ("Mr. Irrelevant").  Western Michigan joins Temple as the only MAC program with multiple selections in this year's draft.
