Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Former Boise State star and 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty, projected to be the first running back selected in this year's NFL draft, will forgo drills and workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine this week, NFL Network reported Monday.
Jeanty will go through medicals and interviews only, his agent told NFL Network. Instead, Jeanty is planning to work out at Boise State's pro day.
Jeanty had one of the top seasons of all time in 2024 by rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns. The yardage is second most in a season behind legendary Barry Sanders, who rushed for 2,628 yards for Oklahoma State in 1988.
Jeanty led Boise State to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals before the Broncos lost 31-14 to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Jeanty rushed for more than 100 yards in each game this season and was known for his dazzling long runs and penchant for breaking tackles. He holds the school record of 4,769 rushing yards and completed his Boise State career with 50 rushing touchdowns.
Colorado receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter edged Jeanty for the Heisman Trophy.
