Ashton Jeanty understands expectations from Raiders in his rookie season

While rookies are often before their NFL debuts, Ashton Jeanty is confident in his abilities and understands the expectations placed on him by the Raiders.

“They let me know every single day I’m the guy,” Jeanty said. “They’re counting on me to do some special things in this offense.”

He is also willing to take inspirations from other young players to have shone in the running back position in recent seasons.

“Saquon’s done a great job at putting great things on display for the running back position and showing our value to the team by winning the biggest game possible,” Jeanty said. “Not only that, there’s so many other great guys [at the position] like Christian McCaffrey, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs. Me getting drafted as high as I did showed the value is coming back.”

Las Vegas had a miserable 4–13 season last year and the team is looking for inspiration from Jeanty to end their run of consecutive losing seasons.
