“You want to be a guy that is scouted for and respected,” – Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is clear in his focus to up the ante this season

510 days ago

Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is confident the offense will click this season, in a new system run by Liam Cohen.

White had a purposeful 2023 campaign with 990 rushing yards and 549 receining yards and will look to connect with quarterback Baker Mayfield in a reworked offensive structure.

White wants to be a force that keeps defensive coordinators in the film room at all hours and believes the run-first team of last season will be more varied.

"If you are a guy in this league, you want to be a guy that is scouted for and respected," White, a former Arizona State player, told the team’s official website.

"I have seen that and people just leaving me out. I saw that and wanted to make the most and make people fear me, make people respect me and to say when I come in the game, ‘It is not just 13, 14. [No. 1] you have to worry about, too.’"

White is durable and multi-dimensional and started all of the team"s 19 games last season, a growing rarity among running backs.
