James White Making The Most Out Of Playing Time
6 years agoNew England Patriots running back James White put together the complete show Thursday night against the Eagles. White ran four times for 31 yards along with six receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in the first half. The running back is looking for an increased role this year, however, he has a crowded backfield to work around. White will split most of his time with Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel, but we could see Jeremy Hill and Mike Gillislee take a big chunk out of his playing time as well. White should see plenty of touches during the last few weeks of the preseason, even if Burkhead is back, but a healthy New England backfield will limit White’s upside during the regular season.
