NFL draft prospect Ashton Jeanty believes he’s the next Saquon Barkley: ‘That can be me’
NY Post
Ashton Jeanty has all the confidence in the world.
So much so that he believes he can be as good as the NFL’s 2024 rushing leader.
Jeanty, one of the top running backs slated to be drafted next week, said he envisions himself in the same vain as Eagles superstar Saquon Barkley.
The former Boise State back wrote as much in a letter to NFL general managers in The Players’ Tribune on Wednesday.
“Most people, they watched the Eagles win the Super Bowl a couple of months ago, they watched Saquon run through everyone in the playoffs, and they thought to themselves, ‘This is amazing,’” Jeanty wrote. “I watched it and I thought something different. I thought, ‘That can be me.’ … I’ve taken the long way. I’m done with that way. If you pick me, it’s simple: I’m coming to your franchise to do what Saquon and the Eagles just did. I’m coming to win, big, soon.”
One season after leading the Mountain West Conference in rushing yards, Jeanty took the college football world by storm in 2024 when he led the NCAA with 2,601 yards to go along with 29 touchdowns on the ground.

Aaron Rodgers has already found his jersey number with the Steelers.

DENVER — Just when another night of anguish with RISP could have spelled R.I.P for the Mets, a wounded star came to the rescue.
One former Steelers star is not too thrilled about Pittsburgh landing Aaron Rodgers.
Quincy Williams already has had several different chapters in his NFL career.
It was the bottom of the first inning when the “Bos-ton Sucks” chants erupted. As if on cue, Jazz Chisholm Jr. whacked a two-out, two-strike, three-run HR to center field.
