Ashton Jeanty skips on-field drills at NFL Combine

Ashton Jeanty, the standout running back from Boise State and a top prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, has announced he will not participate in on-field drills at the NFL Scouting Combine. Instead, he will focus on medical evaluations and team interviews, opting to showcase his skills during Boise State’s Pro Day. Jeanty had an exceptional season, rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns, making him a Heisman Trophy runner-up and placing him just shy of Barry Sanders' single-season record. His performance has solidified his status as a likely first-round pick, with many mock drafts suggesting he could be selected by the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12 overall. The Cowboys are in dire need of a running back following the departure of Tony Pollard, and Jeanty has expressed a desire to play for the team. His decision to skip the Combine drills has sparked discussions about his readiness and strategy for the upcoming draft.
