2025 NFL Draft: Ashton Jeanty believes his draft range starts with Raiders, ends with Cowboys

Among the most interesting story lines heading into the 2025 NFL Draft is where superstar Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty will land. Jeanty himself seems to think he has a pretty good idea — at least, in terms of a general range. The former Bronco told ProFootballTalk that he believes his draft range starts at No. 6 (with the Las Vegas Raiders) and ends at No. 12 (with the Dallas Cowboys). 

Jeanty nearly won the Heisman Trophy last season after rushing for an FBS-high 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns on the 374 carries Boise State fed him. He ultimately finished just behind Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, but his performance was good enough that he’s considered perhaps the top skill-position player in the draft. (Depending on how you categorize Hunter.)

With running backs resurgent leaguewide last season, Jeanty has seen his stock shoot into the top 10 for most of the pre-draft process.

The Raiders have arguably been the team connected with Jeanty more than any other in recent days. They are in desperate need of playmakers on offense to surround Geno Smith, and after last season’s debacle in the backfield, it’s not that difficult to see them becoming enamored with a running back of Jeanty’s caliber.

Prisco's 'what teams should do' mock draft: Travis Hunter goes No. 1; Shedeur Sanders falls out of first round

The Chicago Bears have the offensive line to make it make sense, and they also have former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as their head coach. They’ve been a commonly-mocked Jeanty landing spot in recent weeks as well, with speculation that Jeanty could be the Jahmyr Gibbs-style early running back draft pick.

And of course, the Cowboys will always be connected to stars like Jeanty. That’s in part because Jerry Jones seems to run his franchise more as a marketing operation than a football team, but also because the only running backs currently on the roster are Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke. They do have a need.

Wherever he goes (BetMGM Sportsbook likes him to go fifth to the Raiders), Jeanty will be expected to produce like a superstar very early on. And he just might do it. But last season’s running-back resurgence was sparked by players like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, and they landed with teams that had elite offensive lines and high-level quarterback play from players who are also great runners. If Jeanty goes to a team with a middling offensive line or quarterback play, he might not quite hit the level you’d expect given his prodigious talents.

As two-time champion Florida Panthers enter uncharted territory, fatigue is no match for fun

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Practice ended some 15 or 20 minutes ago — maybe longer, who can tell this deep into the endless slog that is training camp — but Brad Marchand and Sam Reinhart are just coming off the ice now, sauntering into the locker room proudly and loudly.Whatever on-ice competition they were having with the few young guys and bubble guys the Florida Panthers have left must have gone pretty well, because they have big smiles on their faces and big talk on their lips. Marchand gives Reinhart a brotherly backhand across the chest and plops down at his locker stall. A handful of media types — local TV and some team employees — are milling about nearby.Advertisement“You need me?” asks Marchand, never one to shy away from a microphone.Nope. They’re waiting for stallmate Carter Verhaeghe, who’s still on the ice […]

Giancarlo Stanton’s ‘kick in the ass’ team meeting sparked Yankees. Can his message fuel them again?

TORONTO — Giancarlo Stanton stood in the middle of the visitors’ clubhouse in Texas after another wrenching loss in early August. It was during a particularly difficult time for the New York Yankees, not unlike the one they face now two months later, as they stare down the barrel of elimination. With every player sitting in front of his locker, and with the coaches and staffers on hand, the respected veteran went off for about five minutes.AdvertisementWhen Stanton was finished imploring his teammates to play up to what he considered their immense potential, nobody else spoke.“A wakeup call,” Yankees captain Aaron Judge said of the private meeting, which has not been previously reported.“It was the first time I really had a one-player meeting,” infielder José Caballero said.“We kind of needed somebody to get in our asses like that,” third baseman […]

Chiefs say Kingsley Suamataia was ‘on fire.’ It’s one of K.C.’s best developments

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After rising to his feet, Kansas City Chiefs left guard Kingsley Suamataia took three steps, then violently pumped his fists downward while screaming in satisfaction.This was early in the second half of a Week 4 home win over the Baltimore Ravens, and Suamataia and teammate Travis Kelce had done more than complete their pulling assignments on a 12-yard Isiah Pacheco run.AdvertisementThey also had put two Ravens defenders on the ground.“I got the D-end, Trav got the linebacker, and we both pancaked the guys at the same time,” Suamataia said with a smile. “So it was a great feeling.”So just how good — and confident — was Suamatatia playing during this stretch against the Ravens?Consider this: Chiefs coach Andy Reid, who typically isn’t over the top during news conferences, singled out Suamataia’s second and third quarters against […]
