Overview

  • Ashton Jeanty, Boise State's record-breaking running back, is widely projected as a top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
  • The Chicago Bears, holding the No. 10 pick, are reportedly hoping Jeanty falls to them and are exploring trade-up scenarios to secure him.
  • The Las Vegas Raiders, picking at No. 6, may pivot to quarterback Shedeur Sanders if Jeanty is selected earlier.
  • Jeanty’s standout college performance includes 2,601 rushing yards, 29 touchdowns, and recognition as the 2024 Heisman runner-up and Maxwell Award winner.
  • The draft begins Thursday, with no first-round trades yet completed, leaving both teams to strategize amid speculation over Jeanty’s landing spot.
