Tom Brady - English
Tom Brady, investors with stakes in the Las Vegas Raiders, and the entire fanbase are eagerly anticipating the best version of Ashton Jeanty in the NFL. There’s a strong desire to see their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft live up to the lofty projections of experts.

Ashton Jeanty and the Record Looming Over His NFL Debut
The former Boise State running back, Ashton Jeanty, is tasked with revitalizing a Raiders ground game that ranked dead last in the league last season.
He also has a shot at challenging a record untouched for the past 42 NFL seasons, set by Eric Dickerson.
Strong Chance Browns Start 0-5 This Season
In 1983, Dickerson, then with the Los Angeles Rams, established the rookie record for rushing yards, amassing 1,808 yards on 390 carries. Many have come close, but none have surpassed Dickerson’s mark.
Dickerson averaged 113 rushing yards per game across 16 games that season. For context, the Raiders‘ running backs averaged just 79.8 yards per game last year.
At Boise State, Jeanty racked up 2,601 rushing yards on 374 carries, though the leap from college football to the NFL is significant.
Analysts have weighed in on Jeanty‘s chances of breaking the record, with some even favoring him over Cam Ward’s odds of setting a new rookie record for touchdown passes.
“I’ll go with Jeanty for the rookie rushing record,” Rich Eisen said on The Rich Eisen Show. “I’ll always bet on a running back to make an impact over a quarterback, because we don’t know how Cam Ward will handle being a starting quarterback in the NFL.”

Packers WR Jayden Reed clarifies report about role: ‘A lot of people misinterpreted that’
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed knew what reporters wanted to ask even before fielding his first question of the offseason.“Y’all been waiting to hear from me, huh?” Reed said as he walked in front of microphones at Lambeau Field after Wednesday’s OTA practice.ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that in early May, Reed’s new agent, Drew Rosenhaus, met with general manager Brian Gutekunst to clarify Reed’s role after the Packers drafted wide receivers Matthew Golden in the first round and Savion Williams in the third. Schefter reported that the Packers informed Rosenhaus that those draft picks wouldn’t affect Reed’s status as their top receiver.The question lingered whether Reed was unsettled after the draft and wanted reassurance about his depth chart standing or if Rosenhaus had spoken with Gutekunst on his own.“A lot of people misinterpreted that,” Reed said.
