What happened
Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty told @CollegeFBPortal that if drafted in the NFL, he'll keep things simple: go home after games, play video games, watch anime, and cause no trouble. The quote highlights his laid-back approach as a top college star. Jeanty is the nation's leading rusher with over 2,000 yards this season.
Why it matters
This endearing soundbite boosts Jeanty's appeal to NFL teams wary of off-field risks, potentially solidifying his top-10 draft projection. For bettors, it supports stability in his Heisman odds (-160) and draft position props (o-8.5 pick). Historically, drama-free RBs like Bijan Robinson have thrived early in pros.
The data edge
Heisman odds: -160 (FanDuel); Rushing stats: 2,063 yds, 27 TD (leads FBS); Draft projection: Top-10 pick (consensus mocks); Injury history: None significant.
