Raiders’ Jeanty Draws Dreaded Trent Richardson Comp

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty has drawn comparisons to former first-round pick Trent Richardson from NFL analyst Steve Palazzolo. Palazzolo stated on the Check the Mic podcast that Jeanty's performances show flashes of concern mixed with tough running. Richie Incognito also voiced worries about Jeanty's field vision and elusiveness, noting that the former first-round draft pick frequently runs straight into traffic rather than finding open space.

Over his last four games, Jeanty has averaged just 2.9 yards per carry, recording 189 yards on 65 rushing attempts. Despite battling an ankle injury earlier in the season, Jeanty stated he feels great, and head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed the running back will play in the upcoming Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
