Ashton Jeanty, rookie running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, finally managed to show fans what he is made of in the second preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers over the weekend. Jeanty did not do much in the first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, and fans were quick to judge the Raiders’ decision in bagging the rookie in the first round of the draft.
However, the running back managed to turn things around when he contributed seven carries for 33 yards, scoring a solo touchdown for the Raiders in Saturday’s game against the 49ers. Jeanty’s long-time girlfriend, Gabrielle Miller, reacted to his performance against the 49ers with an Instagram story.
