People say look at who he’s doing it against? He’s surrounded by some three stars and mostly no stars. They go in to autzen and he’s the team. Reading the entire Oregon defense. Then when it’s poor boise against other poor teams he’s a man amongst boys. Sold for me
Are fools really saying that? They clearly haven’t actually watched. 1, he’s played Oregon who at the time was considered a top 10 defense. And 2, the way he’s breaking tackles proves it has nothing to do with the talent around him. Most of his long touchdown runs have been entirely due to his own ability to refuse to go down, it’s a nearly unparalleled skill for him right now, NFL backs included. Idk why but I keep thinking of Tomlinson whenever I watch and ponder his ability. Partly Due to what you said, about how playing for a smaller school actually means he is likely surrounded by less talented, or at least heralded, players . But also, just the energy about him reminds me of LDT. He also can do it ALL like LDT. He was a slot his junior year of HS! He’s got elite jukes, vision, power, 4.4 speed!? And he’s just a natural instinctive runner. Born to be aRB
To be fair to the other players on the team, 75% or more of the players that Boise State gets commitments from are 3 star players. In saying that, Jeanty clearly outclasses the talent around him so your point still stands.
Yeah, this is what sticks out to me. His balance and "pinball" style to break all kinds of tackles. He's listed at 5'9 215lbs, but he looks more stout and compact, as if guys can't get their arms around him.
I never played organized football growing up so never been involved in practicing these plays but watching ppl break down game footage is so interesting to watch how everything unfolds and the reactions to it
You’re not lying great video by the way and I get sick and tired of people saying “look at his schedule” 🤦🏽 but you’re correct he’ll definitely succeeded at the next level!
Washington State and UNLV are very good teams. Oregon is elite. His worst game was against the weakest opponent. The schedule argument against him doesn't hold any water.
All you have to answer back to those people is "he did it against Oregon he did it last year against UW who was the 2nd best team in the nation" He has done it against two top ten teams in consecutive years. If thats not consistency and a test of competition then what is?
@@jefftezos Agreed, and he played less than 2 quarters vs. Portland State with something like 6 carries. If he was padding his stats against the worst teams he could have gone for 500 and 5 tds in that game.
Before I ever seen his highlights I saw his stats and said it can’t just be his o-line and sure enough I’m seeing an Adrian Peterson caliber back that can basically do it all.
I think comparing him to Barry Sanders is a good comparison. Short but powerful with speed. Barry had better stop and go moves but Jeanty has better speed, especially long speed. He also seems to have a knack of avoiding direct, hard contact.
Ashton Jeanty reminds me of Trent Richardson in terms of height and build. He runs with the same aggressive style, great balance, and power to run through defenders while maintaining solid speed. In many ways, he’s like a more refined, modern version of Richardson-Trent Richardson 2.0.
Running backs usually fall into one of three buckets: speed/agility, power/balance, or vision/patience. The top tier running backs can do 2 of these 3 things well. The all time greats can do all 3. Jeanty is in that group.
You gotta do a video regarding his balance and body control, especially when breaking tackles and continuing to keep his vision downfield while doing so.
Im grew up in Boise and I have been to several of this guys games and he is the real deal. Im also a Raiders fan and hopefully we can pick him up he seems to be a generational talent at rb
The thing with running backs though is that speed, and ability to turn on a dime, as mentioned here, is a forever diminishing quality. Itll never get better. Teams have adjusted to this by not splurging big on the position as they once did. So not only are RBs careers shorter, so is their ability to monetize it.
@@dominiquewilson I don't know man Jeanty is strong as hell and built like a bowling ball. His build reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew. Those are the types of guys who can squat a thousand pounds.
He had 186 and 3 tds in the first half and then sat the entire second half. Everyone who bet the over was probably celebrating at halftime only to go nuts when they realized he wasn't going back in.
Dude is for real … { prior to the transfer portal} Most teams in the Big12 and Big 10 were mostly made up of 3* players. Don’t get lost in the star rating. Many 4 and 5* players jumped into the transfer portal and are not seeing the field because they are behind a developed 3* or no* player.
what's up man my name is Kevin host of Da Bears talk show I would love for the Bears to draft him why do you think he's predicted to go in the first song currently my Chicago Bears hold the number ,,9 pick this year I was hoping that they would trade back from a top number 5 would you do you think he will be there around 15 to 20 is the Bears going to trade back an acquired another second round pick that will put them at 3:00 this year and draft this gentleman here at running back and have something similar to what Detroit has at the RB physicians specialty of Ben Johnson is going to be the head coach which I'm not found about
More so CMC or Tomlinson, but I know what you mean due to his pass catching ability. But he is a much more instinctual and natural runner than Kamara. He has that feel for it. Kamara is actually quite a lacking running back in a lot of areas BUT he is so elite in his contact balance and slipperyness that it more than makes up for it as long as he is used correctly
The reason he can not lose speed when he changes directions is because he leg presses over 700 lb. I spoke with his trainer and he said they will not allow him to leg press anymore however Ashton believes he can probably leg press 900 lb.

Same league that Josh Allen was playing against. I don't matter who you play against if you can play you can play.
@@jarezbear9502 And the crazy thing is... Allen didn't even play that crazy at Wyoming. He was good but he was just getting started.
His balance is unreal
Yeah, this is what sticks out to me. His balance and "pinball" style to break all kinds of tackles. He's listed at 5'9 215lbs, but he looks more stout and compact, as if guys can't get their arms around him.
Yeah that's the most impressive trait. His contact balance is insane

Washington State and UNLV are very good teams. Oregon is elite. His worst game was against the weakest opponent. The schedule argument against him doesn't hold any water.
@@jefftezos and even then he only played basically the first quarter of that "worst" game.

Great to see Jeanty getting the attention us Boise St fans have been talking about for awhile. Go Big Blue!
Reminds me of Kareem Hunt early in his career with the Chiefs
Before I ever seen his highlights I saw his stats and said it can’t just be his o-line and sure enough I’m seeing an Adrian Peterson caliber back that can basically do it all.
Think I’m picking him up in Fantasy maybe 2-4 rounds
Barry Sanders type abilities
It's blasphemous to compare anyone to Barry Sanders, but he actually does look like Barry Sanders.
More like Walter Payton
I think comparing him to Barry Sanders is a good comparison. Short but powerful with speed. Barry had better stop and go moves but Jeanty has better speed, especially long speed. He also seems to have a knack of avoiding direct, hard contact.
@@Progmeister-tb3sn
Watch films of Walter Payton.
Barry was more evasive in my opinion, but Jeanty might be a more physical runner. Barry is a stand alone kind of guy. There is only one Barry Sanders.
Ashton Jeanty reminds me of Trent Richardson in terms of height and build. He runs with the same aggressive style, great balance, and power to run through defenders while maintaining solid speed. In many ways, he’s like a more refined, modern version of Richardson-Trent Richardson 2.0.
He's quicker

Not even Jeanty could make the Raiders look good.
His vision is next level this guy is so fun to watch he can bust one at anytime
Great video

Jeanty is that special.
If you watch and or know football? Jeanty is that guy.
He may only have a 7-8 career in the NFL, but boy, it will be awesome.
Dude is insane at breaking tackles. Generational kinda talent
Notice he doesn't get fully set to have a step on the defense.
As a BSU fan/alum I've been calling Hesiman for Ashton since the off-season. Just need to get that playoff spot.
Welcome to my fantasy team next year
I don’t think he has Barry’s jump cut ability but he’s talented on so many levels , fast good vision and tough to bring down
This guy should win the Heisman, but they wont give it to him.
He's going to make it so obvious they have to give it to him.
Beat running back since Forrest Gump played at Alabama
What team do you think will be a good fit for AJ... someone like the Bengals who lost Mixon
Love your breakdown and perception
I want trevor ettiene for raiders in rd3. This jeanty kid is a beast but we need o line rd1.
I don’t want him with the raiders you do need O line first
No he needs to go to the Ravens
He reminds me of Ladanian Tomlinson but I think he might be even better
He does the "Thurman Thomas".... gets knocked sideways and keeps his feet...low center...and strong. Wicked instincts.
Similarities of the great Barry Sanders
Jeanty is Barry Sanders but with power and greater strength.
He’s not stronger than Barry sanders
Barry Sanders was crazy strong for not being all that big.
@@dominiquewilson Jeanty squats 700 lbs
He squats 700 and his trainers won't let him do more. He could probably do more.
@@dominiquewilson I don't know man Jeanty is strong as hell and built like a bowling ball. His build reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew. Those are the types of guys who can squat a thousand pounds.
The dude is a discount Barry Sanders / Walter Payton combo
Holy shit it’s Sanjit. Haha go raiders
Barry sanders & joe morris were elite, we’ll see what this smaller back can do
Reminds me of Shady McCoy. He’s not as agile and explosive as Barry though. When Barry hit a hole at College level he was gone!!!!💨💨💨
Vegas had his over/under yardage vs Utah State at 191.5 He had 150+ by halftime, then took off the helmet. Boys betting the over were peeesed off!
He had 186 and 3 tds in the first half and then sat the entire second half. Everyone who bet the over was probably celebrating at halftime only to go nuts when they realized he wasn't going back in.

DO NOT LET THE COWBOYS PICK HIM UP!!!!
He reminds me of ex Chargers rb Natrone Means.
Reminds me of 49ers Frank Gore
Jeanty x Vidal in LA

You absolutely missed BALANCE! Great ones have balance.
Kenneth Walker 1.5!
But what's his long speed?
Looks pretty impressive just based on his long TD highlights.
@@heavylobster4339 that's the conversation around him, his long speed is timed as average... but he looks fast against not NFL talent.
I'd like to see how he does against bigger schools the mountain West is weak competition 😅😅😅
Is 186 yards against #2 Oregon good enough for you?
Alvin Kamara build
More so CMC or Tomlinson, but I know what you mean due to his pass catching ability. But he is a much more instinctual and natural runner than Kamara. He has that feel for it. Kamara is actually quite a lacking running back in a lot of areas BUT he is so elite in his contact balance and slipperyness that it more than makes up for it as long as he is used correctly
@@schuylersavage276 terrible take on kamara
Am i crazy or does he remind you of Ricky Williams
Heisman
college kids tacking ain't NFL tackling
Looks like a Chicago Bear 🐻🍯
