Ashton Jeanty Running Back Boise State 

Junior 

5 Feet 9 inches 

215 LBS 

Pros 

He’s very good at knowing where he’s at on the field and sets up his blocks extremely well he’s a very intelligent player the game seems like it’s slower to him compared to other players 

Jeanty is a Patient runner with exceptional vision he sees the field well 

He possesses unbelievable contact balance he can keep his feet so well and he can absorb contact and keep moving 

Jeanty’s a Powerful runner he does an exceptional job at keeping his legs churning and he fights for every yard possible 

He has a nose for the endzone I always love how he fights for the goal line 

Jeanty Has really solid long speed when he hits a crease and gets into the open field he’s almost always making a house call 

He’s also a very solid pass catcher he is definitely a dual threat back as far as a rushing and receiving threat goes he’s the true definition of a 3 down back 

Cons 

His stance is a little weird don’t know if he will need to refine that a bit at the next level

 
He isn’t overly explosive laterally 

He did play weaker competition  in the mountain west so that has to be a little bit of a concern can he pop some big plays in the NFL like we seen in that conference that can be a little bit of a question 

He can run high at times he needs to get his pad level just a little lower in some instances just a small nit picky thing it isn’t horrible 

He Needs a little more refining in pass protection he by far isn’t the worst pass protector but he does need a little more refinement in that area 

Overall Analysis 

Jeanty is looking like the for sure best running back in this class I feel he has such a rare combination of power with respectable speed and he understands how to set up his blocks and is an illusive runner who can do almost anything on the field 

I don’t think he will be a bust by any means I think he’s a safe pick at worst I see a floor of a higher end RB 2 with the skills to be a potential top back in the league 

He absolutely can be a bell cow 3 down running back at the next level 

In my opinion given his talent and ability he is definitely worthy of going 1:01 in dynasty rookie drafts the only question is how high will he go in the NFL draft Top 10 or lower we’re going to know soon
