Jeanty: Expectation is for me to lead

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty acknowledges the pressure of high expectations following a disappointing rookie season and vows to make a significant improvement.

Jeanty averaged just 3.7 yards per carry last season behind a weak offensive line, contributing to the Raiders' 3-14 record and the firing of head coach Pete Carroll. With Klint Kubiak now in charge and the offensive line showing signs of improvement, Jeanty is determined to turn his sophomore year around.

Speaking to reporters, the 2025 first-round draft pick emphasized his desire to be more vocal and take on a leadership role. "I think I've got to make a big jump," Jeanty stated, adding that he plans to help his teammates and elevate his game to meet the team's expectations. likesport.biz
