Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty is having a phenomenal campaign this season. Coming out of Lone Star High School, Jeanty joined the Broncos as a part of the 2022 recruiting class. In his third collegiate campaign, the RB is considered among the favorites for the 2024 Heisman Trophy alongside Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter.

Jeanty rushed for 169 yards and one touchdown in Week 13 as Boise State secured a 17-13 victory over Wyoming. This performance left fans making predictions about which team will pick him in the 2025 NFL draft.

After the LA Rams lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, one fan predicted that Jeanty might possibly join the former.

"Ashton Jeanty to the Rams."

Another fan wanted the Kansas City Chiefs to draft the Boise State RB.

"Would love for us (Kansas City) to get Ashton Jeanty but I doubt he falls anywhere near us."

One fan commented that the Denver Broncos should try trading up for Jeanty

"No, the RB room has been inconsistent. What about trading up for Ashton Jeanty in the draft? Sean Payton isn't afraid to take a RB in the first round. He took Mark Ingram in the first round back in 2011."

Another fan wrote that if the LA Rams fail this season, then Jeanty could be a good addition to the RB room.

"Williams is good, but he doesn't keep a D up at night. If the Rams fall apart, I would be ok with drafting Ashton Jeanty."

This fan shared a snippet of how he would react if the Dallas Cowboys drafted the Boise State RB

"Me when the Cowboys draft Ashton Jeanty."

One fan predicted that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys would draft Jeanty.

"Cowboys definitely drafting Ashton Jeanty top-10."

The Boise State RB has tallied 2,062 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns, becoming the first FBS player to break the 2,000-yard rushing barrier since 2019.

He might get close to Barry Sanders' single-season rushing record of 2,628 yards he set back in 1988.


Spencer Danielson praises Ashton Jeanty's resilience after Week 13 victory

During their game against Wyoming, the Heisman favorite RB had to momentarily leave because of a potential injury in the third quarter. But he returned to help his team through the finish line.

After the game, coach Spencer Danielson praised Jeanty for his dedication and resilience.

"Ashton's a warrior," Spencer told as per ESPN. "I'm going to keep hitting that. He's banged up. This is game 11, Week 13 of the season, and he's an absolute warrior playing through banged up. We got to be smart with his body and make sure we get him what he needs ... He's going to be just fine."

Boise State is scheduled to take on Oregon State in their final regular season game before competing for the conference title. It will be interesting to see if they can go on to win consecutive Mountain West championships and be a contender for this year's 12-team playoffs.
