Major Sports Show Calls Boise State Football Star “Ridiculous”!

You've heard the name a million times--an Ada County Highway District snowplow was even named after him. You had better get used to it.

Ashton Jeanty.

He's turning heads and garnering compliments from every corner of the nation for his insane speed and tackle-breaking skills so far this season and even more folks are chanting 'Heisman' this early in the season.

Not only are fans and sports writers singing the praises of all-star running back Ashton Jeanty--but on big time former collegiate star has been singing his praises as well.

The BEST in college football? Now that's really saying something. We should note that it's extra special coming from a guy who has WON the Heisman Trophy. That's a huge compliment!

During his show today, nationally recognized host Pat McAfee broke down the stats that Jeanty has seen so far this season for Boise State and both he and his guest agreed: this guy is 'ridiculous'.  McAfee explained that Washington State is a GOOD football team and the stats that Jeanty ran up on them was no cake-walk.

The show also notes that former NFL football coach Chuck Pagano calls Ashton Jeanty a 'rolling ball of butcher knives'.

Can anyone tackle and stop this guy? Boise State fans are sure hoping not!

The last time that Boise State had a real Heisman contender? Kellen Moore.
