White logged 41% of snaps and 100% of long down and distance snaps in Week 1 with Washington, but accounted for only 39% of routes, just barely ahead of Jacory Croskey-Merritt (37%). Bill out-touched White 17-9, with rookie Kaytron Allen mixing in for four carries (14% of attempts). White received zero high-value carries. Washington's offensive line remains a major concern, generating less than a yard before contact per rush, while Jayden Daniels was under pressure on over 42% of dropbacks with a 26% scramble rate.
