The NFL playoffs are set to kick off this weekend and this is the biggest stage for NFL teams and their players. While this is nothing new for some players, like Tom Brady, there are a number of rookies from the 2022 NFL Draft that will be making their first playoff appearance.

There are some rookies that have made an impact during the regular season but over these next few weeks can become household names and stars in this league.

Rachaad White

Rachaad White was a third round draft pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2022 NFL Draft. The former Arizona State University running back had a slow start to his rookie season sharing the backfield with Leonard Fournette.

However, over the second half of the season, White has become a bigger part of the Bucs’ offense with 364 rushing yards, 155 receiving yards, and two touchdowns.

The Bucs are set to play the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night and the Cowboys have done a better job against the pass this year than the run. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Bucs lean on their run game, even with Tom Brady, and White could be in line for a big game.
