First, it was Danny Woodhead. Then, it was Shane Vereen. For the first half of the 2015 season, it was Dion Lewis. And now, James White is establishing himself as the next Kevin Faulk for the New England Patriots.
Since Lewis went down with a torn left ACL, White has emerged as a valuable scatback to fill into Lewis' vacated spot. In the past three games, White has pulled in 14 catches for 152 yards and two touchdowns while adding seven carries for 19 yards and another touchdown.

The Patriots knew White had it in him; they drafted him in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft, making him the first running back they've drafted since 2011.
