While QBs like Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders continue to be highlighted in the rise and fall on analysts’ draft boards, the standout running back is quietly making a case for himself. Jeanty, electrified by the prospect of turning pro, recently told The Players’ Tribune, “I am coming to your franchise to do what Saquon [Barkley] and the Eagles just did.” A two-second pause. No hesitation.
