Raiders HC Pete Carroll on backfield approach with No. 6 pick Ashton Jeanty: 'I'm not relying on one guy'

Our Summary

The article discusses the Las Vegas Raiders' selection of running back Ashton Jeanty as the sixth overall pick and the team's potential use of a committee approach in their backfield, a strategy favored by head coach Pete Carroll. Despite Jeanty's standout college performance at Boise State, Carroll plans to rotate multiple running backs, including Raheem Mostert, Zamir White, and Sincere McCormick, to enhance the Raiders' rushing offense, which struggled last season. Both Carroll and Mostert have praised Jeanty's talent and versatility, particularly his ability to break tackles and excel in the passing game. The Raiders aim to leverage a multi-faceted running attack, continuing Carroll's historical preference for diverse backfield options.
