The casual fan would be forgiven for believing that the Las Vegas Raiders selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty feels inevitable.
The Raiders put together the worst rushing attack in the league last season, and now they have landed directly in the range for arguably the most talented running back prospect since Saquon Barkley. Boise State’s Pro Day on Wednesday only added fuel to the fire, with a heavy Raiders contingent being present throughout most of the event. General manager John Spytek and running backs coach Deland McCullough got the chance to see Jeanty in person, and their presence did not go unnoticed.
