Stuck behind Josh Jacobs for most of his first two seasons, White finally got a chance last December when Jacobs suffered a season-ending knee injury. Operating as the lead back over the final four games, White carried the ball 84 times for 397 yards (4.7 YPC) and a touchdown. Projected over a full season, that would be 357 carries and 1,687 yards -- clearly, those aren't realistic numbers, as Derrick Henry led the NFL in carries at 280, and Christian McCaffrey led the way in yards (1,459). It's a reminder that you should always view fresh legs versus tired opponents with a grain of salt.
Still, while his four-week pace is unsustainable, White enters 2024 as the lead back in an offense that won't have a gunslinger at quarterback, meaning the run game will be leaned on. The Georgia alum has good power and toughness, and he should be an effective interior runner. He has small hands, which calls into question his potential as a receiver, but he has flashed an ability to make things happen after the catch, so perhaps he'll surprise in that department. There is some risk with White, who has a very limited track record, but his upside makes him worth considering as a strong RB3.
