Three-time Super Bowl champion running back James White isn’t closing the book on the New England Patriots’ chances of being competitive in the 2024 season.
But who could fault him if he did?
The Patriots have a first-year head coach and a rookie quarterback, following a 4-13 finish last season. They’re a rebuilding team in one of the toughest divisions in football with the second-hardest schedule in the NFL.
The thought of them even finishing with a winning record seems like a pipe dream at this point. White obviously views it differently.
