Jeanty rushed for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns for a Boise State team that made the College Football Playoff. Jeanty averaged 7 yards per carry. He finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting to Travis Hunter, who had a historic season playing offense and defense for Colorado.

Had they stayed at the five-spot, that pick might well have been Ashton Jeanty, the prized running back out of Boise State. This means, for all practical purposes, the only thing keeping Jeanty from falling to the Bears at pick number ten are those pesky Las Vegas Raiders.
