For the league’s worst rushing attack last season, the Las Vegas Raiders hope drafting Ashton Jeanty sixth overall is a cure-all to their woes on the ground.
Running for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns at Boise State last year en route to finishing as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, Jeanty quickly grabbed headlines all across the nation. All of this came despite having a unique stance, where Jeanty stood up straight in the backfield. After being drafted, Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly got to work, helping adjust to make sure Jeanty does not stand out in the backfield, literally.
