There is considerable hype around new Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year after a dominant season at Boise State, but his NFL career began with more of a whimper than a bang.

At Boise State, where Jeanty was the Heisman Trophy runner-up last season and averaged 7.0 yards per carry, he had the most upright backfield stance you'll see for a running back. Before snaps, Jeanty had no knee bend and let his arms hang down near his sides.

The Seattle Seahawks have already declared victory in the race to determine the best running back from Boise State.
