Of the nine men the New England Patriots selected during the 2014 NFL draft, only one is still with the team: running back James White. Even though the team’s rookie class that year may not have produced the desired long-term quantity and depth, the Patriots did end up with who is arguably their second most valuable offensive player behind quarterback Tom Brady – at least seven weeks into the 2018 regular season.
White, a fourth-round selection (pick #130) four years ago, started slowly into his tenure with the team as head coach Bill Belichick remembered during a conference call yesterday.
