Boise State Star Ashton Jeanty Eyes Cowboys as 'Dream' NFL Draft Destination

The Dallas native and record-breaking running back expresses his desire to join the Cowboys, as speculation grows ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Ashton Jeanty, a standout Boise State running back and Heisman Trophy finalist, has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft following a historic college season.
Jeanty publicly stated that playing for the Dallas Cowboys would be a 'dream come true,' citing his deep ties to the Dallas area, where he played high school football.
The Cowboys, holding the 12th overall pick in the draft, are facing a roster gap at running back after parting ways with Ezekiel Elliott, who joined the Chargers.
Jeanty’s 2024 season featured an impressive 2,601 rushing yards, 30 touchdowns, and a 7.0 yards-per-carry average, placing him among the top draft prospects.
Mock drafts currently project Jeanty as the first running back selected, though it remains uncertain if the Cowboys will prioritize him over other positional needs.
