ADF Player Spotlight – James White

James White – Running Back #28 New England Patriots Height : 5-10    Weight : 205    Age : 27 Born : 2/3/1992 Fort Lauderdale, FL College : Wisconsin Experience : 6th season High School : St. Thomas Aquinas HS [Fort Lauderdale, FL] The Past It’s no secret in how the New England Patriots operate in terms of their roster, specifically with the running back position.

Ingram never found his way to 1000 yards rushing until that 2016 season when the Saints selected that perfect complement in then teammate Alvin Kamara. While it was clear that Ingram possessed a great level of skill and ability, inadequacies on the offensive line and limited workloads attributed to uneven success. His perception wasn’t so highly regarded until the Saints created the league’s best one-two punch over the last three seasons.   With Kamar
