Recently signed by the Patriots, the running back dubbed the ‘new James White’ sent a message to head coach Mike Vrabel

Foxborough, October 8, 2025 –
Following a season-ending ACL injury to Antonio Gibson, the New England Patriots acted swiftly, signing Jashaun Corbin, a former Florida State standout and UFL star, to bolster depth at the running back position.

Corbin, 24, is no stranger to the spotlight in football circles. He shone brightly with the San Antonio Brahmas (UFL), racking up over 500 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns, showcasing a smart, versatile playing style and strong receiving skills—qualities that have drawn comparisons to Patriots legend James White.
Analysts from Patriots Wire noted:

“Jashaun Corbin is a young player with NFL-level potential. He could become the next James White if developed properly.”

During his first interview at the Gillette training facility, Corbin expressed excitement and a strong desire to play:

“I know I’m just a rookie coming in, but I’m not afraid of challenges. Antonio is a great guy—I wish him a speedy recovery. As for me, I’ll do everything to help this team. Give me a chance, and I’ll prove I belong here. I’ll give every run, every touch, for the Patriots and the New England fans.”

Head coach Mike Vrabel is reportedly impressed with Corbin’s spirit and attitude. Though currently on the practice squad, many believe Corbin could soon be elevated to the active roster in the coming weeks, especially as the Patriots seek fresh energy at running back.

With his fighting spirit and drive to make an impact, Jashaun Corbin is steadily winning over Patriots fans, who have always cherished players embodying hard work, humility, and loyalty—values that defined New England’s golden era.
