What's Happening?
Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty faced a tough NFL preseason debut against the Seattle Seahawks, finishing with -1 rushing yards on three carries. In contrast, his former Boise State teammate, George Holani, made a significant impact for the Seahawks, scoring a 24-yard touchdown and accumulating nearly 70 yards in the first half. The Seahawks' social media account took the opportunity to troll Jeanty, suggesting Holani is the best running back from Boise State. Despite Jeanty's impressive college career, his debut was overshadowed by Holani's performance.
