Ashton Jeanty’s arrival in the NFL has been nothing short of electrifying. The Boise State standout, selected sixth overall in the 2025 draft, has already drawn comparisons to legendary running backs, including Marshawn Lynch. His combination of power, speed, and charisma has made him a fan favorite and a key addition to the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster. Head coach Pete Carroll has high expectations for Jeanty, believing his ability to create plays out of seemingly impossible situations mirrors Lynch’s iconic style.
Jeanty’s dominance in college football was undeniable. In his final season at Boise State, he racked up an astonishing 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns, cementing his status as one of the most explosive prospects in recent memory. His talent didn’t go unnoticed by his new teammates either. Raiders tight end Brock Bowers praised Jeanty’s athleticism, calling him “a beast” and highlighting his speed and strength. While Bowers’ choice of words sparked some playful reactions, Jeanty took it in stride, appreciating the respect and camaraderie.

Beyond his on-field prowess, Jeanty has already made an impact off the field. His leadership qualities and generosity-such as taking his offensive linemen out for dinner after the college season-have earned him admiration from coaches and teammates alike. Former Boise State coach Spencer Danielson once described Jeanty as “an elite human being” and a role model for young athletes. His dedication to the game and his team is evident, and the Raiders are counting on him to help revitalize their struggling rushing attack.

A long term solution
The Raiders’ investment in Jeanty extends beyond his draft selection. His rookie contract is reportedly worth around $31.8 million, with a $19.8 million signing bonus, making him one of the highest-paid running backs in the league. Carroll has made it clear that Jeanty will play a significant role in the team’s offensive strategy, emphasizing his versatility and work ethic. The young running back is not only refining his rushing skills but also focusing on pass protection to become a more complete player.
Jeanty’s journey to the NFL was marked by confidence and determination. Before the draft, he penned an open letter to franchise general managers, boldly stating his intention to dominate at the professional level. His words, combined with his undeniable talent, caught the attention of Carroll and the Raiders’ front office, leading to his selection as their top pick. Now, as he transitions to the NFL, Jeanty is embracing the challenge and working tirelessly to prove himself on the field.
With the preseason approaching, all eyes will be on Jeanty as he prepares to make his mark in the league. His explosive style, relentless drive, and leadership qualities make him a player to watch. If his college success is any indication, the Raiders may have found their next superstar in Ashton Jeanty.

Sin embargo, no ocurrió prácticamente nada y los goles se quedaron para el partido de vuelta, ya en el Estadio Da Luz.La presión en el inicio del encuentro por parte de Samu y Borja Sainz dejó claro que que lo que estaba en juego era mucho más que los tres puntos.
