Overview

  • Ashton Jeanty, the Heisman runner-up and Maxwell Award winner, is considered the top running back prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft after a record-breaking college season.
  • Most mock drafts project the Las Vegas Raiders to select Jeanty with the No. 6 pick, though some speculate he could be taken earlier by another team.
  • The Chicago Bears, holding the No. 10 pick, are reportedly hoping Jeanty falls to them or are exploring potential trade options to move up in the draft.
  • If Jeanty is unavailable at No. 6, the Raiders may pivot to selecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders, according to some mock draft scenarios.
  • New Bears coach Ben Johnson envisions pairing Jeanty with D’Andre Swift to replicate the dual-back success he orchestrated as Detroit's offensive coordinator.
