Negative signalBust

Jeanty's 3.1 yards per carry is league-worst for high-volume backs; backup Washington averages 4.9.

The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft has underperformed significantly; Jeanty has 106 carries for 328 yards (3.1 yards per carry), the lowest average among all running backs with comparable volume. He has only 15 rushing first downs—fewer than every other running back with at least 90 carries—and just one rushing touchdown. His backup, fourth-round rookie Mike Washington, is averaging 4.9 yards per carry, suggesting the problem is not purely blocking or scheme. Jeanty is also struggling in short-yardage situations where he should be most effective.
