The Boise State Broncos running back has recorded 1,248 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 9.9 yards per carry over six games.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently on pace for almost 2,500 rushing yards and 35-plus touchdowns in the regular season. For comparison, former Oklahoma State Cowboys star Barry Sanders is often regarded as having the best season for a running back in college football history. In his Heisman Trophy-winning 1988 season, Sanders finished with 2,628 yards and 37 touchdowns, averaging 7.6 yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Jeanty is rapidly climbing\u00a0NFL\u00a0draft boards.\u00a0According to the latest CBS Sports mock draft,\u00a0he is projected to go No. 16 to the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys, a team that could benefit from Jeanty&#8217;s skills to enhance their league-worst running game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjA5OTQ4ODk1MzQ0NjAwNzQ1\/usatsi_24480076.webp 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjA5OTQ4ODk1MzQ0NjAwNzQ1\/usatsi_24480076.webp 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjA5OTQ4ODk1MzQ0NjAwNzQ1\/usatsi_24480076.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjA5OTQ4ODk1MzQ0NjAwNzQ1\/usatsi_24480076.jpg 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjA5OTQ4ODk1MzQ0NjAwNzQ1\/usatsi_24480076.jpg 620w, https:\/\/hotnews.azontree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/usatsi_24480076.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjA5OTQ4ODk1MzQ0NjAwNzQ1\/usatsi_24480076.jpg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Oct 12, 2024; Honolulu, Hawaii, USA; Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty (2) gets past Hawaii Rainbow Warriors defensive back Kilinahe Mendiola-Jensen (29) for a touchdown during the first quarter at Clarence T.C.
