After being selected as the No. 6 overall pick by the Las Vegas Raiders, rookie Ashton Jeanty has quickly drawn comparisons to All-Pro running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Head coach Nick Saban expressed admiration for Jeanty, highlighting his strong build and ability to excel as both a power runner and a threat on the outside.

Saban stated, “This guy reminds me of Gibbs,” lending credibility to Jeanty’s potential in the NFL. Jeanty, who is heavier than Gibbs, has shown the versatility to perform effectively in various situations on the field.

The Raiders’ new rookie is now part of a lineage of great backs, including legends like Marcus Allen and Josh Jacobs. His skill set shows promise, positioning him for a successful career in the league.
