White is all about acceleration after the catch. Lewis has some of that, but more escapability. Two different, complimentary skill sets that allow Brady to once again dictate matchups when they are both on the field.
White has also become a very serviceable blitz picker-upper.

Yes, White's ability to pick up the blitz has improved a great deal!
But if we're being honest, Lewis hasn't shown the same explosiveness he had last year (and that's no fault of his own)

I think I started to become convinced that he found his place here during the last season when he was becoming a frequent contributor and broke off several big plays in the passing game.Honestly, I thought White was a wasted pick. I paid close attention to him in camp and preseason game his first season and nothing jumped out at me. Pure "meh"..... I was 100% totally WRONG on this kid and I'm extremely happy to admit it.
Statistically White has gotten better at running the ball. Whether that's because of better blocking or improving himself I don't know. Maybe it's a combination of both. But he has gotten more opportunities this year and has taken advantage of them. 4 ypc from our 3rd down back is pretty nice. And to me, he looks like a better runner out there.
