Raiders’ First-Round Pick Ashton Jeanty Predicts Monster Rookie Season: 1,500 Yards and Up to 20 TDs
The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a new era with bold ambition, and their first-round pick, Ashton Jeanty, is leading the charge with confidence and swagger. The dynamic running back, selected to revitalize the Raiders’ ground game, has already set sky-high goals for his rookie season—1,500 rushing yards and between 10 to 20 touchdowns.
Jeanty, a standout from Boise State, made headlines during his collegiate career with his explosive runs, versatility, and knack for finding the end zone. Now, he’s bringing that same energy and mindset to the NFL. “I’m not here to just play—I’m here to dominate,” Jeanty said in a recent interview. “I believe in setting the bar high. 1,500 yards and double-digit touchdowns is what I’m aiming for.”
It’s an audacious goal, but one that’s not entirely out of reach. With the Raiders looking to revamp their offense and return to playoff contention, Jeanty could be a key piece of the puzzle. His blend of power, speed, and vision gives Las Vegas a legitimate weapon in the backfield—something they’ve sorely missed in recent years.
Head coach Antonio Pierce has praised Jeanty’s work ethic and drive. “He’s got that dog in him,” Pierce noted. “He wants to be great, and he’s putting in the work to make it happen.”
Jeanty’s bold prediction has already fired up fans across Raider Nation. Social media is buzzing, with many expressing excitement over what could be a historic rookie campaign. And with a revamped offensive line and a strong supporting cast, Jeanty just might have the pieces around him to back up his bold words.
Only time will tell if he can meet those lofty expectations, but one thing is certain—Ashton Jeanty isn’t afraid to dream big, and the Raiders are ready to ride that energy into a new chapter.
