The Las Vegas Raiders selected Ashton Jeanty with the expectation that he would elevate this offense to an elite level. The move was made in tandem with trading for quarterback Geno Smith, the hiring of an experienced offensive mind in Chip Kelly, and the selection of several young offensive linemen and wide receivers in the draft.
While some hoped that Jeanty would make an instant impact, the way Josh Jacobs did in 2019, or top picks from other teams like Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs did, that hasn't been the case so far during his rookie season.
What fans saw from Jeanty at Boise State was this kind of difference-making, but it has yet to fully translate to the NFL level.
