With the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders selected running back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State.

The 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up rushed for nation-leading 2,601 rushing yards, while averaging 185.8 rushing yards per game with 29 rushing touchdowns. His 94.8 PFF offensive grade was the third-highest of any player in college football last season.

He finished his career with the Boise State Broncos as the program’s career record holder in rushing yards (4,769), yards per carry (6.36), yards per game (119.2), 200-yard rushing games (8), 100-yard rushing games (22), consecutive 100-yard rushing games (14) and 200-yard all-purpose games (11).

Jeanty is the highest running back drafted by the Raiders since Darren McFadden was selected with the fourth pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller continues to sit out of the team’s voluntary offseason program, hoping to negotiate a contract extension.

Miller, 29, was selected by the franchise with the No. 15 overall pick of the 2018 draft. Before the 2021 season, he signed a three-year, $54 million contract extension and is due to earn a $12.2 million base salary in 2025 in the final years of the deal.

His current contract contains no guaranteed money for the upcoming season.

Raiders general manager John Spytek told reporters Friday that he does not talk about contracts.

“I’m just gonna give you our answer and it’s gonna be this going forward,” Spytek said. “We’re not gonna discuss contracts publicly and this is certainly a voluntary part of the offseason program. Guys are free to come and go as they please.”

Kolton Miller has played 109 games (107 starts) with the Raiders. His 80.6 overall Pro Football Focus grade in 2024 was 13th among tackles.
