Dude is a beast. I stood next to him in the grocery store, his chest is like two of mine stacked on each other. He is a tank. So thick and powerful. That mixed with his speed is deadly.

[@TheJensen22]

Jeanty has it all man. The burst, the speed and the way he breaks down defenders is chefs kiss. One of his best highlights was in the SDST game start of the 2nd quarter. Jeanty is wrapped up 3 yards behind the LOS and he is able to shake the dude off and get a 10 yard gain after reversing to the opposite side of the field.

Legend

[@austinlaing9012]

OOHHHH it's the MAN! THE MYTH! THE LEGEND! I was the first Ashton. I called for your Heisman the previous year saying it would happen this year if we win 10 games. Ashton Jeanty is the full package. He can run between the tackles, he can make plays in space and the eye test. Watch the Air Force run. Most dominant run in college football for the last 10 years. Nobody can juke like that at full speed. Boise State to the CFP baby!! We also have to add that Ashton was splitting carries with George Holani. Imagine if they won it all? This team has all the components necessary to win it.

Thanks for watching!

[@ashlee162011]

We love Ashton here in Boise 🧡💙

[@Mozenator]

Love is not strong enough of a word! @@ashlee162011

[@wapiti128]

I hope the defense is better.

[@Mozenator]

@@wapiti128 specifically the secondary... It's a make or break element of an otherwise historic team this year.

[@Mozenator]

Jeanty is intelligent, articulate, and charismatic. Impossible not to like! His marketability in the NFL will be top tier.

[@PFFCFB]

He's the best!

[@Mozenator]

This next season, he has all the potential to overtake Doug Martin as my favorite BSU back. @@PFFCFB

[@Eric-ew7yu]

High character, team first type of player. This guy is the real deal

[@Mozenator]

I truly believe he is the best RB in Boise State history. and there's a lot of legends competing for that position. The Stable is something I hope BSU never loses. A tradition of RB excellence!

[@jennifercouture9215]

What a great interview. Showed respect to an amazing player and more importantly an amazing young man. GO BRONCOS

[@PFFCFB]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@johnnyC208]

"He's like 36, so you know" 😂😂 Shots fired! That hurt Jeanty. Respect your elders.
