Patriots running back James White has been a reliable option for Tom Brady so far in the 2018 season.
With 74 receptions through 12 games, White is tied with Giants running back Saquon Barkley for second in the NFL in catches out of the backfield (Christian McCaffrey is first with 80).
The key difference with the other two backs is that White plays less (58 percent of New England’s offensive snaps), sharing the workload with Sony Michel, Cordarrelle Patterson and – just back from injury – Rex Burkhead.
On Sunday, during the Patriots’ 24-10 win over the Vikings at Gillette Stadium, White was mic’d up by NFL Films.
