Is Ashton Jeanty the Next Barry Sanders? Boise State’s Rushing Sensation on the Verge of History!
Everything in life is a tradeoff, and there’s no guarantee that Jeanty would be as effective over a high-carry load. But so far, the evidence points to Boise State doing Sanders’ record a favor by sitting Jeanty down late in games.
Jeanty’s second-half carry average has been better than his first-half rate, and there’s no reason to think he’s less durable than the 14 backs who have taken more carries this season.
Next: Sundays. But wait a minute.
Despite being on the smaller size, Jeanty has become the far-and-away consensus No. 1 running back in the 2025 NFL Draft. And the NFL’s longstanding devaluation of tailbacks notwithstanding, Jeanty has started to get a strong bit of media buzz as a potential first-round pick.
