If you were sleeping on Arizona State's Rachaad White, there's an excellent chance the Kansas City, Missouri native woke you up at the NFL Scouting Combine.
JM: I’m just going to get right into it because this stat blew me away. You accounted for 30.5% of Arizona State’s total yards on offense in 2021. How did you embrace that workhorse role as a guy that entered the season with just four career games for the Sun Devils under his belt? RW: Most guys that find themselves at the JUCO level believe they can play at a higher level, and I felt that way as well. I believed I was overlooked for whatever reason. There are a lot of pain and heartbreaking moments that you live through throughout your JUCO experience. That’s why a lot of guys make it out of JUCO. The ones that make it out are the ones that embrace JUCO. You just embrace it because you know it can get you where you need to go if you approach it correctly.
I’ve always been the type of ball-carrier that feels comfortable waiting for things to set up in front of me. That’s what I prefer to do. I don’t like to feel like I’m in a rush on the field for any given reason. I like to learn and get better at my craft. I become a better player in the film room as well. I honestly just love studying the game of football in general. If you do that, the game starts slowing down for you.
I’ve been a natural hands-catcher my entire life. That’s just the type of guy I am. I could always catch the ball. I’m very comfortable. I’m thankful that I was blessed with solid-sized hands . It helps me catch the ball smoothly. I’m a playmaker and an athlete in the passing game. I’ve always wanted to help my teams in that area.
That’s what I do every day. I’m enjoying all of these things one item at a time. Right now, I’m enjoying speaking with Justin from The Draft Network . I understand you only get one chance to go through this process and I’m trying to do it the correct way. That’s how I look at it. That’s my mentality. I’m just thankful. I’m happy and I’m having fun.
