When the Las Vegas Raiders selected Ashton Jeanty in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the rest of the division was put on notice. While a running back addition was never going to solve the Raiders' woes after years in the AFC West basement, the addition of a prospect widely viewed as a truly elite game-changer, Jeanty could at least be a part of the solution in SIn City.
Six games into his NFL career, the Raiders are still in the basement, but Jeanty is doing his part. With 105 carries for 424 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground and another 14 catches for 73 yards and 2 scores via the passing game, Jeanty is going to get several votes for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
