Ashton Jeanty They won’t be able to do what he has been doing for a long time – make the Tackers want to never think about putting his hand.

So not much can be read in Jeanty that breaks into the open field on Pets‘The Rookie Camp on Friday, but Las Vegas hopes to be at least an overview of what is coming.

Raiders have put a lot of faith in Jeanty, Heisman Trophy of Out of The state of Boisedrawing it six last month. Was the highest draft running back from New York Giants took Saquoon Barkley Second in 2018.

Jeanty also received a four -year contract of $ 35.9 million, which includes a $ 22.7 million signing bonus, his agent Henry organ said. His annual salary of $ 8.97 million is 11. He is the highest among racing backs, according to Over The Cap.

Jeanty fits in with a team trained by Pete Carroll. Carroll relied on a similar type of back SeattleAnd Marshawn Lynch was key to the Seahawks who made a super bowls backwards and won one. His robust running style and 215 pounds of 215 pounds have made him a often painful experience for veterans.

In 5 feet-8, 211, Jeanty used a similar bruising style in guiding the nation with 2,601 yokes and 29 Touchdown. Speaking more, he rushed in 1,970 meters after contact, which would bring FBS in itself.

Because of this, the Raiders decided to use such a high choice on running, although it goes against general current thinking. They could deal with a different position on number 6 and still occupied the quality later in a deep draft in this position, but they felt that the potential generation type of player was too difficult to go through.

Especially for a team that had the worst game last season in NFL, an average of 79.8 meters per game.

“It’s one of those contracts in which he fulfills the need and the best player together,” said CEO John Spytek at the night when the Raiders assembled Jeanty. “You feel like it’s a perfect storm at that moment, and it’s just too much to neglect.

“I had players who played with him,” Rogers said, the third round of elections Texas Tech. “So, just hearing a lot about him, I’m excited that I was still around him, looked at how he was working, see how the professional was.

Rogers, however, said he did not remember those early interactions with Jeanty.

“I don’t know because he accidentally had (Denver wide receiver) Marvin Mims In his team, “Rogers said.” He has a record for high school football that received yards, so then he somehow did his belongings. “

Jeanty hopes to give Rogers and other performances of his new teammates who will not be able to forget.

They are excited to have it. Star defensive end Maxx Crosby Live was the podcast of the first night of draft with the center Jackson Powers-Johnson. They were both ecstatic when the Raiders chose Jeanty, and Crosby pumped his right fist and powers-johnson raised his hands and shouted.

There is also a video of Powers-Johnson who meets Jeanty, accepting him and saying, “I’m your center.”

The expectations are certainly high inside and outside the Raiders plant. Now the question is whether Jeanty met them. He has a long way, but Friday was the beginning.
