San Francisco worked out White and<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">White provides running back depth for the 49ers ahead of their preseason opener on Thursday, August 13 against the Tennessee Titans. White last played the 2025 NFL season with the Las Vegas Raiders. He posted 12 carries for 32 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">White is a former fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

He&#8217;s not as effective as a receiver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">White has appeared in 45 career games over his four year NFL career. He has 198 carries for 736 yards and two rushing touchdowns in his NFL career and 25 career receptions for 152 yards. White&#8217;s physical style of running will be key for him to have a shot to make the 49ers&#8217; 53-man roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The 49ers have one of the NFL&#8217;s best running backs in Christian McCaffrey. However, after McCaffrey, San Francisco has questionable depth. Jordan James, Isaac Guerendo (on the physically unable to perform list) and Kaelon Black are all dealing with injuries. The 49ers also signed NFL veteran running back Khalil Herbert.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/91220519007-20221204-t-010920-z-1431817242-mt-1-usatoday-19557006-rtrmadp-3-ncaafootballsecfootballc.webp\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Follow UGA Wire on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ugawire\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UGAfootballLive\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UGAfootballLive\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">X<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@ugawire\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Threads<\/a> for more Georgia football coverage!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aug. 12, 2026, 4:25 p.m. ET Former Georgia Bulldogs running back Zamir White has finally found an NFL&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431077,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[243,101,103,102,104,106,105,171318,81194,13081,58277,378,507,65397,11107,1350,506,81196,66885,379,508,5726,5728,377,171319,246],"class_list":["post-431076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-accessfree","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-sourceuga-wire","tag-sstssportscollegebulldogsfootball","tag-sstsnfootball","tag-tagalabama-crimson-tide-football","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagcalifornia-gold-rush","tag-tagcgr-sports","tag-tagchristian-mccaffrey","tag-tagcollege-sports","tag-tagespn-inc","tag-taggeorgia-bulldogs-football","tag-tagisaac-guerendo","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagsec-conference-football","tag-tagsec-hub","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagzamir-white","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
