The raiders lost 22-19 and Jeanty rushed to 33 yards in seven races and marked a touchdown. But it was the moment when he and his teammates spoke after the match.
He said that the bowling in Lenoir was his moment “I’m here”.
“Certainly today, that’s for sure. And it takes time as a recruit to win this confidence. And I am here, I arrived, and it’s time to continue and play games for this team,” he said.
The Raiders quarterrier, Geno Smith, praised Jeanty’s play.
“Dude, it just pulls me when he saw him as he runs,” said Smith. “He crosses people, and he does not go away from contact. I think he is going to be a really special player, as I have always said, and I think he must just continue to work.

“There are many things in which he can also improve, but to see him in space with the ball in his hands and how dynamic it is, it was great to see.”
Jeanty had another race the 3rd and long, which transformed the chief of the head coach Pete Carroll.
“Chip [Kelly] Has a call he called to give him a chance, believing that he could do it, and the guys at the front could take advantage of it, “said Carroll about the play.” They rush into the loads right there, so you have to adjust your blockage, but we have done a very good job. The way he [Jeanty] Hit the melee line, it gives you a feeling, and I was really pulled on this subject. Everyone was also on the sidelines with him with his first hit, which helps us all. “”
