I was looking around to find some reports about Pat White's practices at the Senior Bowl. I found a video at ESPN.com which mentioned White. It was not a good report from their perspective, but I'll hold off judgement until after the game is played and the combine.

I've read that he's had a middling performance ranging from ugly interceptions to NFL-worthy sideline bombs, and that he did better after the first day of practice. Todd McShay seemed to be obsessed with the fact that Pat White is merely Drew Brees sized (Brees being the guy who was one pass away from breaking Marino's yardage record). You can read the text version here:

Other sources I read but can't remember where I saw them seemed to indicate that he was one of the best general athletes on the field, if a bit unpolished in an NFL under-center formation.
His inconsistency passing will eliminate him from anything other than a slash type role. I agree with McShay. The sooner he embraces the wr position, the better.
I think it will be his size and durability that are his main issues. I'm not convinced that Pat is an inconsistent passer generally speaking. Poor continuity in an incohesive offensive game plan kept everyone from seeing wether Pat White could be more effective at throwing the ball.
The "predictions" for tomorrows senior bowl on ESPN were rather high on Pat. One announcer calling for him to be Senior Bowl MVP http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80e50a39
