When Josh McDaniels was the offensive coordinator in New England, his team used a heavy running back by committee approach. They also had an interesting way of developing and using their running backs.
One example is Damien Harris, who the Patriots selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Despite being a relatively high selection, Harris received just four touches during his rookie season. But in 2020, that number rose to 142 touches in just 10 games.
McDaniels (and the Patriots) have a history of letting rookie running backs ride the bench before putting them on the field. Will they do the same with Zamir White in 2022?
