BREAKING: Ashton Jeanty Honors Las Vegas Commitment, Vows Loyalty to Pete Carroll and Raiders Management — Tom Brady and Pete Respond with Shocking Verdict
Las Vegas, NV — August 16, 2025
In a bold and passionate statement during a post-practice media session on Friday, rookie running back Ashton Jeanty confirmed what many Raiders fans had hoped: he’s all-in on Las Vegas.
The former Boise State standout, drafted sixth overall by the Raiders in the 2025 NFL Draft, publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the franchise, stating that his future is “firmly tied to the vision of Coach Pete Carroll and the leadership at the top.” Jeanty called the opportunity to play for Carroll “a once-in-a-lifetime gift” and vowed to “run through walls” for the coach who believed in him when others doubted.
“Coach Carroll isn’t just a football genius — he’s a culture-builder,” Jeanty said. “He treats players like family. I’m not just here to play football. I’m here to win — for him, for this team, and for the fans in Las Vegas.”
Sources close to the organization suggest Jeanty’s remarks were more than media polish — they were a strategic message of loyalty to a Raiders franchise going through a significant cultural shift under Carroll’s leadership and the partial ownership of NFL legend Tom Brady.
The Shocking Verdict
Both Pete Carroll and Tom Brady responded quickly and, in typical fashion, powerfully.
Carroll, never one to shy away from emotion, was visibly moved when informed of Jeanty’s remarks.
“That’s the kind of guy you build dynasties around,” Carroll said. “He’s not just a player — he’s a warrior with purpose. Ashton’s been first-class in everything. Commitment, attitude, work ethic — he’s everything we need.”
Brady, who has taken a more hands-on role in shaping the team’s long-term vision, echoed the sentiment with an unexpected twist.
“This kid reminds me of me — not in how he plays, but in how he thinks,” Brady said in a brief media appearance outside Raiders HQ. “He gets it. This isn’t just about football. It’s about mindset, legacy, loyalty. Ashton just earned my total respect.”
According to team insiders, Jeanty’s behind-the-scenes work ethic has already impressed the Raiders’ leadership, with coaches privately calling him a “locker room anchor” and “rookie with a veteran mind.”
A Future Star in the Making?
Ashton Jeanty is expected to lead a committee-style backfield, a strategy Pete Carroll has embraced, citing his Seattle success with the likes of Marshawn Lynch and Chris Carson. But Jeanty’s early performance in training camp and preseason scrimmages has left many wondering if he could soon command a featured role.
In last week’s joint practice against the 49ers, Jeanty broke off two 40+ yard runs and scored on a screen pass, drawing praise from both teammates and opposing defenders.
Final Word
Jeanty’s vow of loyalty could prove pivotal as the Raiders aim to reinvent themselves in the post-Garoppolo era, with Carroll’s defense-first, run-heavy blueprint shaping the team’s new identity.
His outspoken commitment also signals a turning point — where culture, character, and chemistry may be just as important as stats and salaries.
And in a city known for bets, the Raiders may have just hit the jackpot.
