The New England Patriots made a number of exciting additions to the Foxboro fold for 2021. Between free agency, to the NFL draft, the Pats will have no shortage of new faces on the field this season.
However, something can be said for the return of a fan favorite, especially one who happens to be pretty good on the field.
For most Patriots fans, James White’s return to New England was a pleasant surprise. The 29-year-old running back reportedly explored "a few" options in free agency. In fact, it had been widely speculated that White might find more appealing playing options outside of New England, including a reunion with Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski in Tampa Bay.
