Ashton Jeanty hasn’t taken one carry yet for the Las Vegas Raiders. Still, his looming presence has already dramatically changed the perception and expectations of the team’s running attack in the 2025 season.
Recently, NFL analyst Warren Sharp ranked the running back rooms in the NFL. The Raiders stick out as the No. 7 overall group in the NFL. Here is the full list:
ranking the NFL's best running back rooms: 1. Lions 2. Eagles 3. Falcons 4. Ravens 5. Dolphins 6. 49ers 7. Raiders 8. Colts 9. Buccaneers
AD10. Packers 11. Seahawks 12. Bills 13. Rams 14. Jets 15. Chargers 16. Cardinals 17. Texans 18. Vikings 19. Saints 20. Bengals 21. Patriots…

It’s remarkable that the Raiders are already ranked this high because the rest of top 10 consists of teams with established running backs.
The Raiders had a dreadful ground game in 2024. That’s why Jeanty was selected at No. 6 overall. The Raiders badly need his and it is clear the expectations are that he will have an immediate major impact.
