The Las Vegas Raiders needed a solution at the running back position this offseason after having the worst rushing attack in the league last year. That solution was Ashton Jeanty, whom the Raiders selected with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Expectations were certainly high for this young prospect after a dominant career at Boise State, but his rookie campaign in the NFL has been anything but impressive through two games. Jeanty has just 81 rushing yards and 3 receiving yards to his name at the professional level.
While the offensive line shoulders the majority of the blame for his rushing struggles, offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has also failed to use Jeanty correctly.
