A former Georgia Bulldog running back could be getting another shot in the NFL. Zamir White is working out with the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. The 26-year-old halfback is a free agent after the Las Vegas Raiders let him walk.

White ran for 736 yards and two touchdowns on 198 carries through four seasons with the Raiders. That’s 3.7 yards per attempt. After a 2023 season when he produced 451 yards and a touchdown on 104 attempts, his role diminished in Las Vegas.

In 2024, White was supposed to take over the starting job after incumbent starter Josh Jacobs signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Green Bay Packers. However, he couldn’t claim the starting role and finished with 183 yards and a touchdown on 65 attempts. Injuries limited him to eight games.

The Raiders drafted standout running back and Heisman runner-up Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, and Jeanty immediately took over as the starting running back. They then drafted Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft. He will likely replace White as the secondary back behind Jeanty.

The Miami Dolphins worked out White in late May, but decided to sign Carlos Washington Jr. instead. Landing with the Cowboys would give White a decent situation and role. Javonte Williams is probably the starter, but White could compete with fifth-rounder Jaydon Blue, Malik Davis and Phil Mafah.

Before his time in the NFL, White was one of Georgia’s best power backs in recent memory. Through three seasons in a Bulldog uniform, he produced 2,043 yards and 25 touchdowns on 382 carries. He led all Georgia running backs in yards in 2020 (779) and 2021 (856), and he was a big help in Georgia winning the 2021 national championship.
