John White (running back, born 1991)

White was named CFL Offensive Player of the Week for Week 14 of the 2014 CFL season after recording 199 combined yards, including 192 rushing yards on 17 carries, a 36-yard touchdown run and a 10-yard touchdown catch in Edmonton's 24–0 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on September 26, 2014.

[5] White finished the season 3rd in the league in rushing yards, trailing only Jon Cornish (CAL) and Anthony Allen (SSK).

White was named Offensive Player of the Week for the Division Finals, in which the Eskimos were defeated by the Stampeders en route to the 102nd Grey Cup Championship.

On June 8, the Edmonton Eskimos announced he would miss the 2015 CFL season due to a ruptured left Achilles tendon.

Following the game it was announced that he had torn his ACL, and would miss the remainder of the season: His second major leg injury in three years.

[10] On the first day of training camp in 2018, White was released from Edmonton, with General Manager Brock Sunderland refusing to comment.

[11] White was added to the practice roster for the Hamilton Tiiger-Cats following the conclusion of the preseason[12] and spent the first 3 weeks there to learn the Hamilton playbook, while starter Alex Green was injured; reserve national backs Mercer Timmis and Sean Thomas Erlington filled in, with help from Nikita Whitlock who was temporarily converted from defensive lineman to carry the ball.

On the first day of free agency in 2019, White was signed by his former Edmonton GM Ed Hervey to play for the BC Lions.

[13] During 2019, White received consistent criticism for his pass blocking errors,[14][15] but was a dynamo as a rusher, putting up the first 1,000 yard season of his career alongside 7 touchdowns.
