Raiders land Zamir White in 4th round

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Georgia running back Zamir White in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, No. 122 overall.

The Raiders added White a day after declining the fifth-year option on Josh Jacobs, putting the former first-round pick on track to become a free agent in 2023.

White rushed for 856 yards and 11 touchdowns last season while splitting carries with James Cook in the Georgia backfield. The Buffalo Bills drafted Cook in the second round of the draft.

Scouting profile: Zamir White

White is a tough back who isn't afraid to lower his shoulder and use his legs to battle for more yards. Though he doesn't have the wiggle to make many people miss, he hits the hole hard and can use his cutback ability to punish defenses. Georgia used him sparingly on passing downs, which will probably continue in the pros. It's worth noting that the 22-year-old has a pair of torn ACLs on his resume, but the most recent one occurred in 2018. He's since shown plenty of explosiveness and athleticism, including a speed score in the 96th percentile. The bigger concern might be the long-term outlook for his knees, and we likely won't know about that unless he falls in the draft or his medicals are released.
