The Raiders put running back Ashton Jeanty into the game against the New York Jets, and the move triggered a blunt rebuke from former coach Rex Ryan. Yahoo Sports and Bleacher Report quoted Ryan calling Jeanty “the worst draft pick in 20 years” and “soft as Charmin,” while USA Today noted the criticism followed Jeanty’s back‑seat role.
The New York Post framed the usage as a deliberate message. Jeanty responded by posting his own performance figures, but the headlines stop short of linking the numbers to any change in his standing.
The criticism’s tone suggests internal friction, yet no outlet has reported disciplinary measures or roster moves. Future reports may clarify whether the Raiders’ strategy or Ryan’s remarks affect Jeanty’s role.
