Raiders Rookie Ashton Jeanty Revives Upright Stance, Delivers Breakout in Week 4

The rookie credits the upright posture for sharper reads, drawing a public endorsement from Pete Carroll.

Overview

  • In Week 4, Ashton Jeanty returned to his straight-up pre-snap posture often dubbed the “Michael Myers” stance.
  • He produced 138 rushing yards on 21 carries with one rushing touchdown, plus two receptions for 17 yards and two more scores for 155 yards from scrimmage.
  • Jeanty said he first used the stance as a junior at Boise State because it keeps him comfortable and helps him read defenses.
  • Pete Carroll said he loved Jeanty going back to the stance, and the player said he and the staff aligned on the choice.
  • The outing more than doubled his prior season production, and the Raiders’ next game is against the Colts on Sunday.
