There is no denying that it has been a rocky start for Ashton Jeanty, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders to fix their running game, and while there have been flashes of excellence, the production hasn’t matched the hype.
But like all running backs in the NFL, Jeanty can only do so much on his own. The offensive line has been a disaster for the Raiders early in the season, and it’s evident that Jeanty is trying to compensate for their issues.
The result? A poor rushing attack with a running back who is doing too much.
