The Las Vegas Raiders made quite the gamble selecting Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick last April. Although he's had his moments during his inaugural campaign, the offense has been saddled by poor quarterback and offensive line play, leading to a largely disappointing rookie year.

While Jeanty has done an incredible job of breaking tackles and gaining yards after contact, his numbers and impact have been minimized by a poor supporting cast. Last week, some even started throw around the dreaded "bust" label when referring to him, even though it hasn't been his fault.
