WATCH: Former Wisconsin star James White scores walk-off TD in Super Bowl
Published:
James White scored some big-time touchdowns at Wisconsin.
But with all due respect to his college days, nothing compared to the moment he delivered on Sunday night.
The former Badger scored the game-winning touchdown in the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. White’s 2-yard run capped off the New England Patriots overtime victory in Super Bowl LI.
IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER!
JAMES WHITE WINS IT FOR THE @PATRIOTS!
WHAT A GAME! #SB51 #PATRIOTS https://t.co/nZzQJGWRmC

White set a Super Bowl record with 14 catches. He finished the game with 139 yards from scrimmage and a game-high three touchdowns.
Of course, White didn’t earn Super Bowl MVP honors. That went to Tom Brady, who earned his fourth such honor.
On the bright side, White will get to keep that moment forever.
