Ashton Jeanty or Tyler Warren?
Are none of you concerned about the level of competition with Jeanty?? I mean Hawaii , Utah St and Ga. Southern are not exactly SEC schools
To say he's a generational talent when he's played against 3 top 10 teams in 2 yrs and having 1 good game of the 3.
Not at all, I posted this on another forum today regarding this same topic:
Let’s also not forget that Ashton Jeanty went for over 150 yards from scrimmage and 2 touchdowns on just 14 touches against Washington in 2023. A team that played in the National Championship that year.
In other words,
Jeanty played 3 games against top 10 opponents in his career (Washington, Oregon, and Penn State). He had
457 yards from scrimmage and 5 touchdowns in those games while playing with a completely overmatched offensive line against those teams.
Average of 152 yards from scrimmage per game.
Raw stats obviously aren't the "be all end all" when evaluating prospects, but Jeanty continues to get questions over his level of competition and how he did vs "quality" opponents, so I do feel it's useful to compare what he's done against top 10 opponents. Here's how some other recent top RB's over the years have done against top 10 teams:
Bijan Robinson- 4 games against top 10 opponents, 365 yards from scrimmage, and 3 touchdowns. Average of 91 yards from scrimmage per game.
Saquon Barkley- 7 games against top 10 opponents, 950 yards from scrimmage, and 6 touchdowns. Average of 135 yards from scrimmage per game.
Christian McCaffrey- 4 games against top 10 opponents, 591 yards from scrimmage, and 1 touchdown. Average of 147 yards from scrimmage per game.
