Rachaad White Dunks Off The Dribble
June 25th, 2025
Bucs running back Rachaad White throws down a dunk.
This isn’t a 350-pound man jumping out of waist-deep water in a swimming pool, but Joe was still impressed.
Bucs running back Rachaad White hosted a two-day youth football camp in Orlando recently and was a very active participant.
Weather affected the camp and forced part of it indoors into a gymnasium. There, White had some fun shooting basketballs for the kids and then seemingly randomly decided to take one dribble — just one — and dunk a ball. That was impressive hops for a guy whose height measured 6-0 at the NFL Scouting Combine.
This was no long run up for a dunk with no dribble. Joe saw it on White’s YouTube channel.
White says he’s dropped 8 or 9 pounds and he’s hoping to take his speed and explosiveness to another level this season, his contract year.
Obviously, weight and fitness doesn’t make a running back great, but White sure seems a tick more motivated. That’s a beautiful thing for a young running back who posted 9 touchdowns last season.

38 inch vertical is nothing to sneeze, Vince Carter had a 43 inch vert at 6’7-ish

A hundred years ago I could get very close to that but I’m undertall so wasn’t quite as successful. But this is not that uncommon for NFL skill position guys. Joe Montana used to be able to dunk and I’m pretty sure Brady could too.

That’s explosive, that’s why he excels after a good stiff arm

@ Thomas Edgrington
that’s why I put “ish” as it’s something I’ve never been sure off because it’s always been presented as one or the other in his career. Granted it’s only an inch, but I was just really watching Carter early in his career waiting on the next poster.

He wants to be like Bucky. Good on him. That’s how good Bucky is. Makes the players around him better. Go Bowles!

I doubt Bucky can dunk or pick up a blitz as well as Rachaad
