The star of wooden wood and finalist of the Heisman trophy, Ashton Jeanty, heads for the Raiders of Las Vegas, when he becomes the first current of the replaying table as expected.
While the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars were recent potential destinations for Jeanty entering Thursday evening, it was still the raiders with which he was connected.
A team that had trouble in the racing match last season, ending the last in the League in terms of production.

Jeanty appears to jump directly from Pete Carroll’s offensive and start working with the quarter-back of the new raiders, Geno Smith, putting the ball back.
Las Vegas continues to build their attack, which also includes the star Brock Bowers, who had the whole campaign recruited in 2024 after the Raiders took him to the first round.

The runners were generally devalued on the first day of the draft, but Jeanty quickly ceased as a selection of the top 10 after what he was able to present for the broncos.
The perfect balance between power and speed, Jeanty, at 5 feet 9 inch, 211 pounds is back at home whose teams dream – think of Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry who find a seam and exploit it for a long touch.

Jeanty did it a few times per game last season, accumulating 29 touches on the ground to finish second in the FBS in this category. He also led the country with 7.0 yards on average per postponement, and he led the NCAA with 2,750 yards on all uses.
Although its explosive speed and cutting capacity can make defenders miss, it is also extremely difficult to take on the ground, bouncing plated and fighting for more than a few additional meters after contact.
This is why the seconds must cheat outside because, more than times that, the defensive backs could not obtain Jeanty on the ground even if they had a good form of tackle.
Jeanty collected a series of at least 50 or more yards in nine of his 14 games last season, and if it was not for Travis Hunter in Colorado, who went to the Browns of Cleveland second in the general classification of this project, Jeanty would probably have run away with the Heisman.

Of course, the pros will provide more important players and more important challenges to Jeanty, but many put him to be a future All-Pro and the raiders certainly hope that this is the case with them.
