The Las Vegas Raiders will have a new primary back this season. As his first season as a starting running back approaches, starting running back Zamir White continues to improve many facets of his game.
For the first time in a long time, the Las Vegas Raiders will begin a season without franchise running back Josh Jacobs in the backfield. After consecutive offseasons of unsuccessful contract negotiations between Jacobs and the Raiders, both sides decided to go their separate ways this offseason, as Jacobs eventually signed with the Green Bay Packers.
However, before that, White had to wait for years as the Raiders continued to ride their feature back, Jacobs, as far as he could take the team. As time progressed, though, the value of the running back position decreased as Jacobs and other backs around the league desired more money and longer years than team owners wanted to pay. In the Raiders’ situation, this made their drafting of White before Jacobs’ contract season much more of a wise decision.
