SCOTT SLANT: Jeanty’s preseason hype is off the charts
(Tom Scott’s column will return Friday, August 29) Friday Special…August 22, 2024. The buzz for Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is kind of overwhelming. And a lot of it has to do with what will happen after the season. We’re about eight months away from the NFL Draft, but here we go. One of the prognosticators worth following is Dane Brugler of The Athletic, and he has unveiled his first “NFL Draft 2025 Big Board,” his top 50 prospects. Jeanty is No. 25, the highest-ranked running back on the list, first-round territory. You’ve gotta love Brugler’s narrative: “I have watched tape on almost 1,000 draft-eligible prospects, but I can comfortably say Jeanty has been one of my favorites, because of the frequent magic acts he pulls with the football in his hands. The man hates to be tackled. Factor in his impressive receiving skills, and Jeanty has separated himself as my RB1 entering the 2024 season.”

Our forests won’t survive another four years of liberal madness.
