When a running back gets picked sixth overall in the NFL Draft these days, it makes you pause—and not just because it bucks the usual trend of teams passing on the position early. Ashton Jeanty’s arrival in Las Vegas is exactly that kind of curveball, and honestly, it’s got me wondering: is this the revival of the running back’s glory days, or something even sneakier? Coming off a college season that flirted dangerously close to Barry Sanders’ legendary rushing record, Jeanty isn’t your garden-variety backfield hopeful. His transformation is already unfolding before our eyes—notice how he’s switched up his stance, leaning into his new role with the Raiders like a man who knows the spotlight’s not just a warm-up act. With Pete Carroll—a coach who’s molded true bruisers before—and Chip Kelly calling the shots, this isn’t just a draft pick; it’s a signal that Vegas means business. But can Jeanty carry this weight? Or is this “new stance” just the first subtle shift in a much bigger story waiting to be written on the gridiron?
