Ashton Jeanty, the day before he will hear his name called in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, recalled the most significant parts of his visit with the Bears being about more than football.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty might be the most explosive offensive player in this draft class and he was enthusiastic about teaming up with new Bears coach Ben Johnson after “a great visit” to Halas Hall. “Endless opportunities in that offense,” Jeanty said with a laugh Wednesday.

According to Albert Breer of SI.com, "If there’s a player who will elicit a trade up into the top 10, I think it will be Jeanty—whether it's the Denver Broncos taking a big swing or the Chicago Bears making a shorter move to leapfrog another team."
