Newton is one of many in the NFL sending well-wishes to White. Former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sent his condolences on Sunday as did Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who was White's teammate at Wisconsin.
White was a late scratch from Sunday night's Patriots-Seahawks game. Pats safety Devin McCourty returned an interception for a touchdown early in the first quarter, found the camera, and delivered a special message of his own to the running back.
