Raider news: Don’t sleep on Ashton Jeanty’s impact in this area

Ashton Jeanty has an up-and-down rookie season as a rusher for various reasons after the Las Vegas Raiders made the running back the No 6 overall pick in the 2025 draft.

However, the Boise State product did make a major impact as a receiver out of the backfield. A recent X post by NFL Researcher showed Jeanty was one of the most productive receiving running backs in the entire NFL last season.

Jeanty had 55 catches (on 73 targets) and five touchdowns. His 55 catches was the sevetnh most by a running back in the league. Jeanty should be able to build on that start as a receiver under new Raiders’ head coach Klint Kubiak.
