Strengths:

Can break off a long TD run at any point.
Pad level won't be an issue as Jeanty runs low to the ground.
Receiving weapon that possesses a large catch radius.
Jeanty’s pass blocking is impressive and doesn’t get pushed off-balance by defenders.
Ball carrier vision won’t be an issue; anticipates where the hole will open up and hits it with ease.
Weaknesses:
After carrying the ball 750 times in three years, how much tread does he have left?
Sacrifices ball security for extra yards.
Too jittery; needs more composure behind the LOS.
Summary:
Jeanty comes into the 2025 NFL Draft with the “generational” tag and will be an impact player on day one. His skill set will transcend an offense, with his ability to create something out of nothing and stay in the backfield to pass block. Jeanty excels best in zone schemes as his acceleration will beat almost anyone in the first two levels of the defense.
