James White was never one of the best running backs in the NFL, but he held an important role for the Patriots for eight seasons. Today, he announced via Social Media that he is retiring from the NFL.
This isn’t a total surprise, as White missed most of the 2021 season with a pretty serious hip injury, but it is still sad to see one of the most likable players in the NFL hang up his cleats.
White, who is a three-time Super Bowl champion, served an important role on those championship teams.
In the historica l comeback against the Falcons in the Super Bowl back in 2016, White had 14 catches for 110 yards and three touchdowns, including the game winning touchdown in overtime.
