Raiders Valuing Versatility in Running Back Room Behind Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic. In addition to Jeanty, the Raiders have running backs Zamir White, Raheem Mostert, and Dylan Laube on their 53-man roster. Reed writes that White is a power back who can "specialize in short-yardage situations," while Mostert is "the third-down back who can serve as a reliable pass blocker." To be clear, Reed still refers to Jeanty as the "every-down bellcow back." The 21-year-old should be expected to see a significant workload as a rookie, but the team is mindful of Jeanty's season-long effectiveness and long-term career outlook.
