You can say he is but to say it’s not up for debate is being a homer.

White was good and could impact a game no doubt, but DT's pass rush could take over a game.
Lol, yeah, Reggie never took over a game

I don't understand the Reggie White comments at all.
Look the guy had a ridiculous senior season:
"Determined to improve upon what he considered a disappointing junior campaign,[13] White erupted during his senior season in 1983, registering 100 tackles (72 solo), a school single-season record 15 sacks, 9 tackles-for-loss, and an interception.[14] Although Pittsburgh defeated Tennessee 13-3 in the season opener, White consistently kept the Panthers' offense off balance, in spite of being lined up against the Panthers' All-American offensive lineman Bill Fralic.[15] He had two sacks in Tennessee's 31-6 win over New Mexico, and a school single-game record four sacks in the Vols' blowout win over The Citadel.[16] White was named "Southeast Lineman of the Week" for his performance– which included 12 tackles and three sacks– in Tennessee's 20-6 win over LSU,[17] and he twice sacked Alabama quarterback Walter Lewis in Tennessee's 41-34 win over the Tide.[15] In Tennessee's 30-23 win over Maryland in the 1983 Florida Citrus Bowl, White sacked heralded Maryland quarterback Boomer Esiason in the second quarter, knocking him out of the game.[18] White was a consensus All-American, SEC Player of the Year, and a Lombardi Award finalist.[19]"
Know what make it even more special? He played Left Defensive End in a 3 man front (though I think they played a lot of 4 man in pass rush situations).
If you asked me which player I would rather have had at South Carolina if it were possible to go back in time and sign them, it's be Reggie White without a doubt.
As for Manning, if you just consider college play, Tebow over him all day long.

Tebow wasn't the best player on his own offense.
