The Cowboys have the No. 12 choice in the 2025 NFL draft, so they might have the chance to pick the Heisman Trophy finalist if they desire him.
B/R's NFL Scouting Department predicted Jeanty to last to No. 22 general in its newest mock draft with the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting him. He was the very first running back taken in the mock draft, which comes as not a surprise provided his general production.
B/R's scouts ranked him as the leading running back and seventh-best total gamer in its most current huge board of potential customers.
It likewise predicted the Cowboys to take Ohio State large receiver Emeka Egbuka with the 12th choice to provide Dak Prescott another target together with CeeDee Lamb. There is likewise something to be stated about pass receivers being better than running backs in today's NFL, although Jeanty might likewise open more area for Lamb by drawing extra protectors into package.
All the Boise State star did this previous season was run for 2,601 lawns and 29 goals while leading the Broncos a first-round bye and the No. 3 seed in the College Football Playoff.
It was among the very best private seasons in college football history for a running back, as he threatened Barry Sanders' record of 2,628 lawns and 37 hurrying goals from the 1988 project.
Whenever a running back is pointed out together with Sanders, it makes certain to turn heads.
And the Cowboys have an abundant history of running backs with gamers such as Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett, Ezekiel Elliott and DeMarco Murray, to name a few, controling for stretches. Rico Dowdle was strong this season on his method to 1,079 hurrying backyards, however he likewise wasn't unstoppable like a few of the Dallas greats.
Maybe Jeanty can be that next Dallas terrific if the group prepares him.
