Veteran RB Says Ashton Jeanty “Has the Goods”

The Las Vegas Raiders have spent years trying to fix their ground game.

New coaches.
New GMs.
New backs.

Same result: near the bottom of the league in rushing.

But veteran running back Raheem Mostert believes that narrative is about to change — because of Ashton Jeanty.

The Raiders selected Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick last year, signaling a major investment in rebuilding the run game.

They also signed Mostert to a one-year deal, giving the rookie a seasoned presence in the locker room.

After watching him daily throughout the 2025 season, Mostert didn’t hesitate when asked about Jeanty.

“First impression, this dude is made of the right stuff,” Mostert said on The Herd with Colin Cowherd.

It changes everything about how Las Vegas builds its offense.

And according to someone who watched him up close all season, that leap is coming.

The Raiders invested premium draft capital in Ashton Jeanty.

Now a respected veteran is confirming what the organization hoped:

They may finally have their difference-maker in the backfield.

Year 2 could be the breakout that validates the pick.
