Catches are adding up in a hurry for Patriots running back

James White Through five games Cheap Customized New England Patriots Jerseys , no New England Patriot has caught more passes than running back James White.He is up to 32 entering Sunday night’s meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs.That tally is one that only 13 targets around the NFL have surpassed at this point in October. And just one other back, the New Orleans Saints’ Alvin Kamara, sits in that baker’s dozen above White.As for the others? Their names are Golden Tate, Emmanuel Sanders, Julio Jones, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Antonio Brown, Stephon Diggs, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, Odell Beckham Jr. Authentic Trent Brown Jersey , Zach Ertz, Michael Thomas and Adam Thielen.In the conversation with wideouts and tight ends is a good place for White to be.It’s where the 26-year-old has been for the better part of the past three seasons.That may have served as a surprise when the Wisconsin product entered the league in 2014 having handled 643 carries in contrast with 73 catches during his Big Ten career. Not so much now.“I’ve always felt confident in my pass-catching abilities even though I didn’t do it as much in college,” White told reporters during his Tuesday press conference. “I did it in high school and even during the offseason and stuff, I would run routes with the receivers and just try to learn what they can do because I always felt confident in my ability to do that. We ran a lot of screens in college, though, so I always felt comfortable and confident with that.”White has reeled in 40, 60 and 56 catches, respectively, in his seasons dating back to the 2015. The Super Bowl LI record-setter now has as many catches this season as the Los Angeles Chargers’ Keenan Allen.New York Giants No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley, meanwhile, is one flat route out of the backfield away from them.“Obviously http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/ryan-allen-jersey , I didn’t think I would be catching as many passes as I do,” added White, “but I mean, things change and I’ve accepted my role and just go out there and execute to the best of my abilities.”If White is able to continue at that torrid clip of more than six receptions per game, the Patriots captain would finish the regular season with 102. But anywhere near the century mark would shatter the franchise record for catches by a running back, 77, which Tony Collins established in 1986.The triple-digit catches milestone would go beyond White’s position title, where a select few rushers in LaDainian Tomlinson, Larry Centers and Matt Forte have gone before; it’d make him just the fourth player in Patriots history to accomplish the feat.Wes Welker slotted himself into 100-reception territory five times, and both Julian Edelman and Troy Brown did so once.It’s been as prolific as it’s been efficient.White’s work in quarterback Tom Brady’s passing game has netted him 270 yards and a team-high four touchdowns thus far into 2018. It’s seen him move ahead of Kevin Faulk for the second-most all-time TD grabs by a New England ball-carrier.And yet, White has been seen in the ground game Authentic Jonathan Jones Jersey , as well. The 5-foot-10, 205-pounder has rushed for 110 yards with another trip to the end zone on 23 carries already – 20 shy of his career-high.With rookie Sony Michel and the off-and-on Kenjon Barner the only other running backs residing on New England’s active roster, that level of involvement has filled the gaps.“I mean, for me, I always feel like I’m involved whether I touch the ball or not,” White said. “Like I said, one week it may be catching, one week it may be running, one week it may just be blocking. I think everybody across the board in our offense does a great job of accepting their role no matter how many touches they get.”And while getting to 102 receptions for 864 yards and 13 touchdowns sits a ways out, White’s role hasn’t provided reason to rule it out.Just conversation. One of the biggest storylines of the New England Patriots’ rumor-filled 2018 offseason involved offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. The CliffsNotes version looks as follows: the Indianapolis Colts offered him the head coaching position, McDaniels agreed but never signed a contract Womens Rex Burkhead Jersey , the club announced the hire too soon, and he ultimately returned to the Patriots after owner Robert Kraft and head coach Bill Belichick made a last-second push.McDaniels’ decision to stay in New England can be interpreted in many ways: maybe he did not want to uproot his family, maybe he was persuaded by the Patriots’ offer — a five-year deal that makes him the highest-paid coordinator in football —, maybe he is Belichick’s successor in the waiting. The motivations behind the 42-year old leaving the Colts at the altar are anyone’s guess and never made it out of Gillette Stadium or the McDaniels home.However, it appears as if one part of those motivations still is a head coaching position: according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, McDaniels “is open to potential head coaching opportunities.” How exactly those opportunities will look like is not specified, but numerous organizations certainly will be searching for new leaders next offseason including a Cleveland Browns franchise that currently is run by interim coach Gregg Williams.Whether the Browns — his home state team — or any other team for that matter would be interested in McDaniels is a different story. On the one hand, the breakup with the Colts and his previous head coaching gig with the Denver Broncos are not exactly good advertising. On the other hand, though, McDaniels is one of the brightest offensive minds in all of football and has coordinated some of the most productive units the NFL has ever seen.Given the nature of the NFL it would therefore not be a surprise if McDaniels once again became one of the hottest names on the coaching market over the next few months.
