He’s made his presence felt as a receiver
It hasn’t been an easy season for Las Vegas Roaders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty.
The No. 6 overall pick has had his ups and downs in his first NFL season as a rusher. He hasn’t gotten a lot of help from his offensive line and he has struggled to make an impact at times.
Still Jeanty has found a way to contribute and he has done so as a receiver out of the backfield.
Sunday, at Houston, the Boise State product had a 60-yard touchdown catch from Geno Smith. It has his fifth receiving touchdown of the season and he joined some special NFL company.

That’s impressive and there is no reason why Jeanty can’t continue to make an impact as a receiver as his career continues.
