STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Jeanty's 3.7 YPC and two 100-yard games disappointed despite 1,321 scrimmage yards.

Jeanty, the No. 6 overall pick from Boise State, produced 1,321 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns in Year 1 on the league's worst offense, but his rookie returns felt underwhelming given the immense hype surrounding him and comparisons to Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson. Concerns over his pedestrian yards-per-carry average (3.7) and lack of marquee performances (just two 100-yard games) have detractors questioning whether he was worthy of the hype, setting him up for disappointment due to lofty expectations.
