Overview

• Ashton Jeanty, Boise State’s star running back, is widely projected to be selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
• General Manager John Spytek has publicly reinforced the importance of drafting elite players regardless of position, pushing back against the NFL's trend of devaluing running backs.
• Jeanty’s historic 2024 season, featuring 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns, positions him as one of the most talented running back prospects in recent years.
• The Raiders had the league’s worst rushing offense in 2024, and Jeanty’s potential to immediately revitalize their ground game aligns with organizational priorities.
• Jeanty’s NIL partnership with Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby has further underscored his cultural fit within the franchise ahead of draft day.
