🧠 Coach J’s Draft Room Vol.6｜Ashton Jeanty: Balance, Bruises, and Beast Mode Echoes

Ashton Jeanty | Las Vegas Raiders | RB | Boise State "Balance isn’t just about footwork—it’s about finishing runs your way." 🔍 Coach’s Breakdown ✅ Strengths Elite contact balance—stays upright through hits Thick lower body, breaks tackles like it’s routine Patient runner with outstanding lateral agility Instinctive vision in zone-blocking schemes 🚧 Areas to Watch Heavy college workload—wear and tear is real Runs upright at times, exposing himself to big hits Pass protection needs work—can’t be a liability on third downs 🗣️ Coach’s Corner Some guys move the chains. Some guys change the chains. Ashton Jeanty? He’s got that second kind of talent. Las Vegas took a gamble, but they might’ve just found the jackpot. Jeanty isn’t just a volume runner—he’s a tone-setter. The way he absorbs contact, stays upright, and keeps moving? That’s special. Pete Carroll wants another Marshawn? Well, Jeanty’s not that—he’s something different. More finesse, more shift, but the same ability to turn a broken play into a highlight. And here’s the thing: you can scheme around a QB. You can game-plan a passing attack. But a running back who makes tacklers miss even when they should’ve had him? You just hand him the ball and watch. 🎓 Coach J’s Grade: A He’s built for work. If Vegas keeps him fresh, he’s gonna eat.#NFLDraft2025 #AshtonJeanty #RaidersNation #RunGameMatters #CoachJScouting #DraftRoomVol6 #RB1 #DoakWalkerAward #NFLProspectAnalysis
