The Las Vegas Raiders needed a jolt to their rushing attack after averaging a league-worst 79.8 yards per game on the ground in 2024. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft netted them Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, a generational running back prospect whose debut was highly anticipated.

Unfortunately, Jeanty's first NFL action was a bit of a flop. During Thursday evening's preseason matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, he had more carries than rushing yards while playing two full series.

Every other running back on the team mustered more yards than Jeanty, which caused Raider Nation to feel a bit worried about their prized rookie.
