The Las Vegas Raiders mortgaged a lot on running back Ashton Jeanty during the 2025 NFL Draft. After an offseason in which they upgraded the quarterback, head coach and offensive coordinator, the new leadership tandem felt like Jeanty was the missing piece in Las Vegas.
While he has shown flashes of incredible talent during his rookie campaign, it has largely been spoiled by inconsistent usage, poor offensive line play, and his strong performances being swept under the rug by the countless Raiders losses piling up.
After a change at offensive coordinator from Chip Kelly to Greg Olson, the hope was that the offense would get a jolt, and players like Jeanty could benefit from that.
