For the first time since the tragic car accident that claimed his father’s life, New England Patriots running back James White talked about his dad following Monday’s game with the Kansas City Chiefs.
White, who played at Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, credited his father for him playing football and reaching the NFL.
“He meant a whole lot,” White told reporters. “He’s one of the biggest reasons why I play football. Being a little kid, seeing my brother play, knowing that my dad played football. That kind of motivated me to go out there and play football.
