Video: 5 Players with Unlimited Ceilings Thanks To Playcalling
the situation was brutal offensive line just him by himself comparing him to other backs across the league was there any consensus in the building after watching his rookie season... the offensive line really needed massive improvement there and almost certainly Jeanty will perform better this year... Jente has a unique play style where he's definitely a little bit more of a try to run you over guy rather than like the ultra dynamic outrun you type player

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Jeanty should improve significantly with better offensive line play.

Rookie running back faced a brutal offensive line situation in 2024; the source emphasizes that offensive line is the primary driver of production and notes that Jeanty will almost certainly perform better this year with improved line play. Jeanty has a unique play style as a power runner who tries to run over defenders rather than an ultra-dynamic outrun type, contrasting with players like Jahmyr Gibbs or Saquon Barkley; he might accumulate 75 yards while breaking four tackles on the way, whereas Gibbs or Barkley might go untouched. The Raiders need to get the run game on track after it didn't improve last year despite the pick.
