From the article

As a rookie, Jeanty received his fair share of totes (266 carries) and targets (73) and the tailback produced despite often getting battered and bruised — 1,321 yards from scrimmage with 10 touchdowns (five on the ground, five more through the air). With Jeanty generating a pedestrian 3.7 yards per carry as a rookie as he was met by defenders often at the or behind the line of scrimmage — meaning at a meager 1.26 yards before contact, the majority of the Boise State product's rushing yards he created on his own after contact — the Raiders spent big coin on free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum to anchor the offensive line.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Rookie usage of 266 carries, 73 targets; improved O-line should boost efficiency from 3.7 YPC.

As a rookie in 2025, Jeanty received 266 carries and 73 targets, producing 1,321 yards from scrimmage with 10 touchdowns (5 rushing, 5 receiving) despite often getting battered and bruised due to pedestrian 3.7 yards per carry and only 1.26 yards before contact; with offensive line improvements (free-agent center Tyler Linderbaum, healthy left tackle Kolton Miller, and veteran offensive line coach Rick Dennison), the needle is trending upwards for improved production in Year 2.
