"I know Chicago’s blue & orange isn’t the same as Boise, but the color pattern is the same. This city is gonna love you like Matt Forte and Walter Payton," wrote a fan.

Ashton Jeanty wants to emulate Eagles' Super Bowl-winning star
Jeanty is eyeing greatness, and he’s not shy about it. The Boise State RB dropped a declaration ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, writing in "The Players’ Tribune" that he’s ready to follow in the footsteps of Super Bowl champ Saquon Barkley.
“If you pick me, it’s simple: I’m coming to your franchise to do what Saquon and the Eagles just did,” Jeanty said. “I’m coming to win, big, soon.”
That’s a massive statement—but Jeanty has the resume to back it up. The 5'9", 210-pound star ran riot in the 2024 college football season, recording 2,601 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns. He was just 28 yards shy of Barry Sanders’ record.
Jeanty’s journey so far hasn’t been easy. He had a military dad, so the RB never had one place to settle down. From Florida to Italy to Texas, Jeamty has bounced all over the globe chasing football dreams even when no teams were around.
Projected as a top-10 pick, Jeanty is drawing serious interest from the Raiders, Bears, and Jaguars.
