The Las Vegas Raiders are expecting a lot from their 2025 rookie class, and for good reason. Ashton Jeanty was the No. 6 pick in the class, and he is expected to get a heavy workload in Chip Kelly’s offense. But he isn’t the only rookie who should see a ton of work in Year 1.
Most fourth-round picks don’t wind up being Day 1 starters, but Dont’e Thornton Jr. isn’t your average Day 3 pick. Standing at nearly 6-foot-5 and weighing 205 pounds, Thornton ran a 4.30 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
But he’s not just some athletic marvel; he’s a pretty good receiver, too!
