TAMPA, Fla. — Rachaad White had exciting skills but not the experience he needed to play a complete NFL game when he joined the Bucs as a rookie this season, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said Thursday.
But the Bucs finally turned the former Arizona State running back loose against the Seahawks two weeks ago in Germany and he responded with the best game of his career (105 yards on 22 carries).
More importantly, White played 48 snaps, or 68 percent of the Bucs’ chances on offense. Prior to that, the most offensive snaps White had played was 43 percent in a loss at Carolina.
