Saints on High Alert as Ashton Jeanty Linked to $5.5B NFL Franchise Amid Kellen Moore’s Clear Stance

Ashton Jeanty might miss the Heisman trophy for a few points, but the NFL biggies aren’t going to miss out on him. The Broncos poster boy led a stupendous season, leading his team to a historic 12-2 season and a quarterfinal appearance. Jeanty’s 1,970 yards after contact shattered the single-season record CFP-era record and was more than 250 yards higher than any other RB had all over. It’s just like the silent breath of a wounded lion when someone dares to tackle him. He pinballs off defenders and churns out extra yards from their attempted tackles while staying firm on his feet. The dude is, no doubt, a freak who is hard to be passed on.

Currently, it begs the million-dollar question: which team is gaining the edge to land the Boise State gem? Amidst the heated rivalry, the Denver Broncos find themselves at a palpable crossroads. Can they just blow the odds up and do the unthinkable?

Is the Denver Broncos going in the direction of Ashton Jaenty in a ruthless draft trial?

The $5.5 billion worth Denver Broncos are currently scouting through a myriad of off-season agendas to revamp their offensive line while the need to bring a dynamic running back like Jeanty becomes pivotal. Also, the potential synergy between Jeanty and quarterback Bo Nix presents an intriguing ball game for the Broncos, hinting at an effective offensive pathway. Also, if you are in doubt about Jeanty being a running back, Nate Tice from Yahoo Sports is here to assure you, ”they could be the Ashton Jeanty team. I would love that. Sean Payton has taken a running back in the first round. He took Mark Ingram.”

”He (Sane Payton) has a history of doing this, hey, took an edge over a running back and people lost their minds in time it was so weird looking back on but at the time I was like oh okay, all right, got it, but no, they could be the Jeanty team,’‘ Tice added. They need a “joker,” as Sean Payton claimed–they are in dire need of a running back or tight end who’s an equally talented receiver–and Jeanty possesses all the traits to fit the role. He has robust hands as a receiver but is highly regarded for heavy running, including some insane home run speed.
Now, the real question is, will Jeanty be available to the Broncos in a bold trade-up? That’s never sure. The pursuit of Ashton Jeanty is like a deep leap into the mid-sea for the Payton and Broncos, as the competitive landscape gives a nod to the New Orleans Saints and Kellen Moore.

Keelan Moore is heavily eying the standout Boise State product 

The New Orleans Saints and Ashton Jeanty just look like an ideal storybook couple. Jeanty and the Saints have been connected because of Kellen Moore’s long-standing Boise State ties. Moore had an epic career as a quarterback at Boise State University and had a special feeling for their products. But regardless of that, Jeanty is an unforgettable catch.

Also, heading to 2025, they don’t like any looming risk on the depth chart. Alvin Kamara’s injury record is a reason the Saints may need to go all in for an additional QB. Kamara hasn’t even finished a full season since his debut. So, drafting Jeanty would be the best alternative if Kamara were set up for retirement.

Moore is already high on the Boise State talent. “I think his patience and burst is really, really special,” Moore said. He also applauded Jeanty for having “great vision, I think, as a running back. Which is really, really important.” Moore sees him as a complete package who can make plays on the ground and through the air. While drafting him would be an uphill battle both for the Broncos and the Saints, sharing the same alma mater with a one-of-a-kind guy on the team would be special for Coach Moore.
