James White optimistic about Patriots’ offensive backfield in 2024

Former New England Patriots running back James White seems optimistic about the team’s offensive backfield heading into the 2024 season.

The Patriots replaced Ezekiel Elliott with veteran running back Antonio Gibson in free agency. Gibson tallied 65 carries for 265 yards and a touchdown in 2023. He also showcased his talents as a receiving threat out of the backfield with 48 catches, 389 yards and two touchdowns.

Gibson was one of the main signings for a Patriots free agency that was largely focused on re-signing in-house talent.

Now the big question is, do the Patriots have enough at the position?
