Ashton Jeanty 2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Ashton Jeanty Scouting Report

For NFL teams looking for an immediate difference-maker at the running back position, Ashton Jeanty is the guy. In a deep class with plenty of sleepers, there is an argument for teams to wait in the draft. But Jeanty is a sure-fire back who can handle volume, elevate a passing game, and keep an offense on schedule by avoiding negative plays.

Some will point to his shorter stature as a negative, but he presses the line of scrimmage and explodes through the line while sometimes linebackers and the secondary can’t locate him. He pairs that vision and escapability with power at the collision point, which often leaves defenders on the ground and Jeanty running down the field. His contact balance makes him look like a ballerina mixed with a bulldozer all wrapped in a nice 5’8″ package.

Ashton Jeanty’s All-22 Film Study shows him lining out wide and making a contested catch, which is a nice bonus to everything he brings on the ground. We don’t have testing numbers for Jeanty yet, but what he put out on the field for Boise State was an exceptional athlete who checks almost every box. It’s not a question of how good he is, it’s a question of what team wants to pay up for him while there could be contributors like Omarion Hampton, Kaleb Johnson, or Quinshon Judkins available on day two.

Ashton Jeanty Dynasty Outlook

He’s the 1.01, don’t overthink it. The top quarterbacks are huge question marks, Tetairoa McMillan is losing steam among draft circles, and the landing spot would only make the 1.02 or 1.03 closer to Jeanty than it would make them leapfrog him. He’s already a top-three dynasty running back.
