My Take
Ashton Jeanty's 2024 season genuinely thrilled me. Leading the FBS in rushing and touchdowns at Boise State, winning the Maxwell and Doak Walker, and finishing Heisman runner-up is a monster résumé. What I love most is the physics of it: at 173 cm he isn't a towering back, yet his low center of gravity and brutal contact balance let him shrug off tacklers who outweigh him. I'm a sucker for players who flip the size equation. Now anchoring the Raiders' backfield and still only in his early twenties, he feels like a player whose ceiling we haven't glimpsed yet. I'm watching closely.
