After a quick and rather uneventful first preseason appearance last week, Ashton Jeanty showed glimpses of why he was the No. 6 pick in the draft during Saturday's preseason game against the 49ers.
Jeanty rushed for 33 yards on seven carries, including a one-yard run for his first touchdown. His most impressive play of the day easily came on a 13-yard run, which saw Jeanty stiff-arm 49ers starting corner Deommodore Lenoir and keep running for a first down and more. It was the type of contact with the defender that Jeanty regularly showed at Boise State before breaking for a long run, and one of the traits that made him the best back in college football last year.
