Jeanty Shines as Raiders Plan RB Committee

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has impressed coaches and teammates during mandatory minicamp with his work ethic, versatility, and coachability. Head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly praised Jeanty's ability as both a runner and receiver, while emphasizing the team's intention to utilize a rotation of running backs. Veteran Raheem Mostert called Jeanty a 'generational talent,' praising his unique combination of power and speed. Jeanty, who set records at Boise State, has also drawn inspiration from Marshawn Lynch for both his on-field toughness and professionalism. The Raiders hope Jeanty can help revitalize their ground game as part of a running back committee. Early signs suggest Jeanty could become a franchise cornerstone in the 2025 season.
