Former Patriots RB picks struggling offensive weapon as team's breakout player in 2024

Heading into the 2024 season, the New England Patriots need to make big strides on offense to become a competitive team again in the NFL, and while they added some young talent that could help, they still have plenty of holdovers from last year's team that need to step up.

Speaking on the "Pats Interference" podcast with Andrew Callahan, former Patriots running back James White shared his breakout candidate in Alex Van Pelt's offense this season.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and say my guy Tyquan Thornton just because I know they have a very deep receiver room with different body types, but he's the one guy who sets himself apart as far as the speed," White said.
