Only a small handful of players from this draft class can truly match Jeanty in acceleration burst and ability to rapidly change direction.

New Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty shared a surprising twist that he also got pranked in a call that said he’d been traded to the Cowboys.

The last player to use the number for the Raiders before Carlson was A.J. McCarron in 2018. Other previous users of the No. 2 include JaMarcus Russell, Terrelle Pryor and Aaron Brooks. That trio of quarterbacks combined to go 10-33 in 43 starts with the Raiders.
