Who is Rachaad White

Insert UCLA, where Rachaad White gave his verbal commitment, and on Signing Day he was pulled away by former Mt. SAC linebacker, and New York Giants Super Bowl Champion, Antonio Pierce. Pierce was in his second season as the recruiting coordinator at Arizona State, he banged on the table not once, not twice, but three times for the Sun Devils to sign the now three time transfer. And it paid off, in 2020 Arizona State played just 4 games due to covid and White exploded onto the scene with 400 yards rushing in 4 games, including 158 yards and 2 touchdowns on 13 carries against Oregon State, and 133 yards and 3 touchdowns on 10 carries against Arizona. Fast Forward to 2021, White finally got the opportunity to put it all on the field. He rushed 182 times for 1,000 yards, and pulled in 43 receptions along with 16 touchdowns, finally Rachaad White reached the Top of the College game.

Rachaad White was selected in the 3rd round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He joins a team that by all accounts revolves around one player, Tom Brady. With Leonard Fournette getting re-signed, White’s value takes a hit. If Brady leaves after this season, his value tanks hard. He might have been the 3rd best running back entering the draft, but he’s nothing more than a handcuff in 2022 with not much ceiling after Brady retires.
