The Las Vegas Raiders look to be an improved team heading into this season, and the way in which the team is approaching their preparation for the upcoming slate ahead has second year back Ashton Jeanty encouraged by what he’s seen so far.
"There’s different energy and urgency in the building, and I truly believe that it starts from the top down," said Jeanty. "So, I love what I'm seeing so far from everybody and it's only gonna continue to grow and get better.”
The Raiders earned a 3-14 record in Jeanty's rookie season in 2025. He and former QB Geno Smith struggled behind a poorly coached patchwork offensive line. Jeanty finished averaging just 3.7 per carry for the year and Smith was sacked 55 times. A gutted Las Vegas defense also showed room for improvement around Pro Bowl EDGE Maxx Crosby.
This offseason saw a far more aggressive approach led by the hiring of reigning Super Bowl champion Kubiak to be their next head coach this offseason. Big free agent acquisitions included veteran Kirk Cousins and center Tyler Linderbaum on offense and big upgrades at linebacker, edge rusher, and cornerback.
