Ranking the Las Vegas Raiders 2022 rookie class based on impact

No. 1: Zamir White

Zamir “Zeus” White, the physically imposing standout from the University of Georgia is entering an offensive backfield with a plethora of talent and attributes of strength in different areas. White, a true power back has the desired size and speed that provides for projected success in goal-line and short-yardage situations.

Zeus has a knack for falling forward and gaining yards on the difficult downs and is surprisingly agile in the open field for his size. White needs to improve in his pass protection, as he has not fared well as a blocker and will need to improve to be successful at the next level.

White adds to the championship mindset and is a known and proven leader as a former captain at Georgia. Fans who are familiar with the “Thunder and Lightning” of Wheatley and Garner can hope to see similar success in adding Zeus into the mix with Jacobs and Drake to create the backfield of Olympus.
