The Washington Commanders' offseason activities suggest Rachaad White may play a notable role in 2026. After signing running backs White and Jerome Ford, along with the return of Jeremy McNichols, the team looks to bolster its backfield. Second-year player Jacory Croskey-Merritt led the team in rushing yards last season, but White's skills in the passing game hint at a split workload.
