The Las Vegas Raiders' rushing attack never got going during the 2024 NFL season after letting All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs walk in free agency. His replacements, Zamir White and Alexander Mattison, left plenty to be desired as they mustered a league-worst 79.8 rushing yards per game.
With Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly now in Las Vegas, the emphasis on the ground game will be stronger than ever. Improvements were obviously needed, so the team went and drafted Ashton Jeanty No. 6 overall and signed veteran Raheem Mostert in free agency.
Given that White and promising young running backs like Sincere McCormick and Dylan Laube were on the roster, the addition of Mostert was a bit of a gamble.
