Sharod "Roddy" White (born November 2, 1981 in James Island, South Carolina) is an American football wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. He was selected with the 27th pick overall in the 2005 NFL Draft out of the University of Alabama, Birmingham.

By drafting Roddy instead of a defensive lineman, as many had predicted, the Atlanta Falcons sent a clear signal to their "star" wide receiver Peerless Price and the entire set of WRs. White is expected to be a big target for Mike Vick and one that can run with the speedy quarterback.

In football, he broke every school career receiving records, was a two time All-Low County pick and a two-time All-State pick, and was also listed as one of the top receivers in the nation on Rivals.com. In wrestling, he was a two-time state champion.
