Ashton Jeanty may not win the Heisman, but the Boise State running back is having a monster season.
So he might end up in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In our latest NFL mock draft from Christian D’Andrea, he had the perfect spot for Jeanty: the Dallas Cowboys, who have taken RBs in the first in the past (hello, Ezekiel Elliott). And in the latest mock from The Ringer, Danny Kelly has Jeanty going to … the Cowboys too! Seems like everyone’s got their Jerry Jones hats on.
Here’s what he had to say about the pick that he projected:
There will be obvious (and valid) questions about the long-term value of choosing a running back this high in the draft, but Jeanty would provide a much-needed spark for the Cowboys offense, which, outside of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, has conspicuously lacked difference makers at the skill positions this season. Dallas has to get some help for Dak Prescott if it hopes to get out of its funk in 2025. Jeanty is a special talent; he has gyroscopic balance through contact and home-run-hitting speed, which would give Dallas some juice on the ground.
Intriguing. Make sure to check out our latest NFL mock draft from D’Andrea!
