Ashton Jeanty finished the 2024 season with 374 carries for 2601 yards and 29 rushing TDs. He also added 23 catches for 108 yards and 1 TD. He 6.95 yards per carry and 2709 yards from scrimmage were both eye-popping, but one of the knocks on him was that he played against “weak” competition in the Mountain West conference and many previous BSU RBs who have looked great in college have been “failures” in the NFL.
