GAME-CHANGER: Raiders’ Ashton Jeanty READY to Jump Into Elite RB Tier—If the Blocking IMPROVES

Las Vegas Raiders’ Ashton Jeanty powers through his rookie season, flashing elite contact balance and punishing physicality—but will improved offensive line play in 2026 unlock his top-10 running back potential? The podcast hosts break down Jeanty’s key strengths from his time at Boise State, his transition to the NFL, and his 975 rushing yards, 10 total touchdowns, and dynamic contributions as a receiver out of the backfield. Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez debate Jeanty's future with the Raiders, including concerns about his yards per carry, pass-protection technique, and ability to create when blocking breaks down. How will additions like Tyler Linderbaum, a new coaching staff, and weapons like Brock Bowers shape Jeanty’s development? Exploring player comps from Doug Martin to Trent Richardson, the conversation weighs what Raiders fans can expect from a volume runner poised to break out—if the supporting cast delivers.
