Ashton Jeanty expected to join Pittsburgh Steelers at 21
Ashton Jeanty had a standout season as the running back for the Boise State Broncos. He was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, finishing second to Travis Hunter from the Colorado Buffaloes. Jeanty is now preparing for the NFL, where many experts see him as a future star. Most mock drafts had Jeanty being picked in the top 12. However, a recent mock draft suggests he might drop to the 21st pick, where he could be selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers. This prediction, made by Scott Pavelle of Steelers Depot, surprised many fans and analysts. If this prediction comes true, it would be a significant surprise, as Jeanty is expected to be taken much earlier. The Steelers would likely welcome him, especially if they manage to sign quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Adding Jeanty to the team could help reduce pressure on Rodgers. In the past season, Jeanty showcased his skills by rushing for 2,601 yards and scoring 29 touchdowns. He averaged an impressive 7.0 yards per carry. While it’s unusual for a player of Jeanty’s talent to fall in the draft, it’s not impossible.
