Patriots laud RB James White's steadiness, consistency

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It has been an impressive three-week stretch for second-year New England Patriots "running back" James White.

It's "running back" because he might as well be classified as a wide receiver after totaling 21 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns in games against the Philadelphia Eagles (loss), Houston Texans (win) and Tennessee Titans (win). He would have had 70 more receiving yards if not for a close offensive pass interference penalty against receiver Keshawn Martin that negated the long catch and run.

While added a 2-yard rushing touchdown against the Texans.
