In a fiery and unapologetic introduction to Raider Nation, newly signed running back Ashton Jeanty wasted no time letting the AFC West — and the rest of the NFL — know exactly where he stands. In his first public comments after officially joining the Las Vegas Raiders, Jeanty delivered a bold and unfiltered statement:
“The very first thing I said to them was fk the Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos.”**
The remark instantly set social media ablaze, drawing cheers from passionate Raiders fans and raising eyebrows across the league. With those nine words, Jeanty firmly planted the silver and black flag in the ground, embracing the franchise’s long-standing identity as renegades with a chip on their shoulder.
Jeanty, a standout at Boise State with a reputation for tough, downhill running and relentless energy, has brought his intensity to the NFL — and clearly, he’s bringing the fire. His comments reflect not just confidence, but a deep understanding of the divisional rivalries that have defined the Raiders for decades.
The Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos have all seen their share of success in recent years, but Jeanty is here to shift the balance — and he’s making it personal.
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce appeared to back his new player’s energy, stating, “This is what it means to be a Raider. We don’t back down. We don’t play nice. We come to dominate — and Ashton fits that mold perfectly.”
Fans have flooded social media with support, hailing Jeanty’s passion and commitment to the Raiders’ long-standing battle cry: Just Win, Baby.
As the Raiders prepare for the 2025 season, one thing is clear: Ashton Jeanty isn’t just here to play — he’s here to make a statement. And with the Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos in his crosshairs, AFC West battles just got a lot more personal.
