Raiders' perfect Zamir White replacement just became available
Las Vegas Raiders v Indianapolis Colts - NFL 2025 | Justin Casterline/GettyImagesThe Las Vegas Raiders have long struggled to find a role for running back Zamir White. After drafting him in the 4th round of the 2022 NFL Draft, White was stuck on the depth chart behind Josh Jacobs, running the ball just 37 times in his first 27 games, and never more than four times in one contest.
But when Jacobs got hurt at the end of the 2023 season, White burst onto the scene for the Raiders. He ran 84 times for 397 yards and a touchdown, while also tacking on 9 catches for 60 yards, in the final four games of the year. Las Vegas then let Jacobs walk and gave White the keys to the backfield.
