Ashton Jeanty stylishly arrived to Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft, wearing a dark maroon suit, bowtie, ang glasses that served to hide his on-field dominance. But his choice of footwear may have baffled Micah Parsons. The Boise State Broncos running back paired his suit and tie with a pair of bejeweled Crocs slippers - a sartorial decision that led the Dallas Cowboys' star pass rusher to react: Looking to predict NFL playoff Scenarios?

When asked why he chose Crocs, Jeanty said: Earlier that day, he had received a message from Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning : The Las Vegas Raiders are considered the heavy favorites to land Ashton Jeanty , given the paucity of their ground game in the 2024 season that saw them accumulate 1,386 total yards and average 3.
6 yards per carry and 79.8 yards per game - all league-worsts. In fact, he raved about his "really good" meeting with the organization in a recent interview for Athlon Sports: But there is at least one team that is angling to beat them to his services - the Chicago Bears.
According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, general manager Ryan Poles is looking to trade up from No 10 to get the explosively dominant rusher: Earlier in the week, ESPN's Adam Schefter had written that the Bears were "praying" that Jeanty would slip to 10, then he would be paired with D'Andre Swift in a two-headed ground game attack for new head coach Ben Johnson, who had a similar pairing with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit.

In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
