• Jeanty told reporters, “I don’t think you draft a guy like me to not give me carries and touches,” adding he is ready for more responsibility.
• Pete Carroll said the rookie is still “breaking into the NFL” and pledged Jeanty will get more carries as the team seeks a more effective ground game.
• ESPN and PFF-tracked metrics show Jeanty frequently met at or behind the line, including negative and near-zero yards before contact and more yards after contact than total rushing yards.
• External pressure is mounting, with former star James Harrison urging more carries and Boise State reporter B. J. Rains criticizing Chip Kelly’s usage, as Las Vegas enters Week 3 with one of the league’s least productive rushing attacks.
