The Las Vegas Raiders entered the 2025 NFL season with high hopes that a revamped offensive identity, spearheaded by rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, could energize a unit that had sputtered for years.
Just two weeks in, and the numbers paint a troubling picture: Jeanty, one of the most dynamic backs to come out of the college ranks in some time, is averaging just 2.7 yards per carry on 30 attempts. While some of that can be chalked up to NFL growing pains, the bigger story is what’s happening in front of him.
The Raiders’ offensive line has been inconsistent at best and flat-out problematic at worst.
