Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty showed prowess as a receiver out of the backfield as he had 55 catches and five touchdown catches. This offseason, new head coach Klint Kubiak stated that the goal was to get the No. 6 overall pick in last year's draft very involved in the receiving game. And it showed in the very first game. Jeanty had two receiving touchdown in a win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. He is just the second play since the 1970 merger to accomplish the feat in his first 20 games of his career.
