I do—and it wasn’t leading the rushing attack of one of the NFL’s top offenses and catching passes from Tom Brady on the regular.
So, at that ripe age of 27, he’s a vested veteran. And not only is he not one of the ‘young guys’ anymore, he’s gone a step further and taken on a mentor role. It’s been evident throughout camp that he’s taken a liking to Buccaneers third-round pick“I had guys like Chris Ivory, T.J. Yeldon who did it for me and that’s just how it is—and ‘Shady’ did it for me too,” Leonard Fournette said.
But White comes from a very pro-ready system in Tempe, Arizona. He already has experience catching passes and has fluid hands, combined with a good understanding of basic routes. He broke off a couple great runs in the Buccaneers’ preseason opener behind an offensive line opening up their own playbook with some wide-zone looks and variations that emphasized the run game—especially on first down.
So, yeah. Fournette would be forgiven for being a little hesitant in helping a young guy come after his job. But it was actually kind of the other way around.
