How Raiders' Ashton Jeanty Felt About Not Winning Heisman

"A little bit, you know, obviously you want to you know win awards you've been, you know, working for, you know, everybody's been talking about since week one, you know, kinda putting that pressure on you and, you know, obviously, when I seen I had a chance to win it, I wanted to, you know, go after it but, you know, things happen."

"You know, you can't get every award, but you know, there'll be a lot more down the line. There's a lot of other awards that I won already this year, so I'm just thankful to even be, you know, in that room, that space, you know, with great guys you know, and all the other legends who have you know, been selected or won the award."

Jeanty was Boise State's main source of offense, often running the Broncos to victory, even in situations that would typically call for a team to pass.

Since Spencer Danielson was named head coach in the middle of the 2023 season, Jeanty played a critical role in securing back-to-back Mountain West championships and a birth in the 2025 College Football Playoffs.

Jeanty had 2,601 rushing yards and 30 total touchdowns last season, but Hunter got the nod due to his work as a cornerback and wide receiver, playing a critical role in turning around the Colorado Buffaloes program.

While nothing will change what happened, it's clear Jeanty is entering the NFL with a chip on his shoulder and is now a member of a franchise that thrives when they have those types of players.

With a new opportunity in Las Vegas, Jeanty sets his eyes on NFL accolades with the Super Bowl being the ultimate goal.
