Ashton Jeanty – Maxwell Award winner, Doak Walker Award winner, Unanimous All-American, two-time Mountain West Player of the Year, and, of course, Heisman Trophy runner-up.
Jeanty's dominance as a runner is undeniable, but what makes him even more valuable as an NFL Draft prospect is his production as a receiver out of the backfield. He hauled in 80 receptions for 862 yards and six touchdowns, proving himself to be a true do-it-all back and one of the best running backs in recent college football history.
Beyond his vision, Jeanty’s agility is a defining part of his game. His ability to feel defenders before they enter his line of sight allows him to make quick, subtle moves that put would-be tacklers in poor positions—often forcing them to attempt arm tackles, which have proven to be futile against him. After executing these lateral movements to navigate through traffic, Jeanty possesses exceptional burst.
In the video linked below, you’ll see these aspects of Jeanty’s game in action, particularly at the 1:29 mark in what many consider one of his signature performances against Washington State. On this play, Boise State calls an outside zone run, but a defensive tackle gets immediate penetration just as Jeanty receives the handoff. Demonstrating elite vision and agility, Jeanty instantly adjusts his path and encounters the middle linebacker one-on-one in the hole.
