As we approach the NFL 2025 draft, the pressure and scrutiny of being a NFL draft leaflet become a thousand. Everyone wants to know who you have talked to, where you look playing and other questions throughout that line of thought. For Boise State RB Ashton Jeacty, he is removing some stress when playing Call of Duty: Mobile. Jeanty played Call of Duty: Mobile against other perspectives in the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
Before the NFL Draft, Jeanty will be broadcast on the YouTuber Bobby Plays channel on Wednesday, April 23 and spoke to me about Call of Duty, how he trains and more.
YEAH: What has been your favorite part of the draft process so far?
AJ: I think it’s just traveling. I can see many places that I house, and then I can meet all the teams, players and all kinds of different people.
YEAH: Outside the real building and team, why does City have Bee’s favorite so far?
AJ: I’m going to say Louisiana, due to all the food.
YEAH: What was your favorite food you had?
AJ: I had this fried bag on rice with Etouffee. I forgot what else was there, but it was a loaded and loaded dish.
YEAH: Then, in Boise State this season, he had contact with a contact of approximately 1,700 yards after contact. I wondered how you train your body to receive all these successes and make the boys miss without losing steam.
AJ: Yes, I mean that much of that is just a given talent of God with which I have been blessed, but there is a lot of work that enters that. A lot of training at the bottom of the body, you know, what makes your body strong, because that is where your power really comes from. Then, a strong upper part of the body and a nucleus to maintain its stability. Also work in your balance is crucial and how I can not fall and make great plays.
YEAH: With all access to null and the transfer portal, you are one of the few who stayed in a G5 school throughout your career. What made you stay?
AJ: I think, when it comes to the field in terms of football, correct, I had a large group of teammates and coaches, connections and relationships that I already build. Then the new hiring of the coach [Spencer] Danielson, you know, knew that he was going to be a great coach, the adequate for the program, the person who could be the right way and take us where we need to be.
Outside the countryside, all the relationships, connections that I built with the boys, people in the city. I wanted to keep all those increasing and developing. That is the most important thing, you know, when you commit to a school, right? You want to go to school that will develop in the player you want to be. And I knew that Boise was the right place for me.
YEAH: If you were exploring and you had to say: “Here is everything I am good, and here there are things in which I need to improve,” What would you say that your most underestimated feature, so you don’t think you get enough credit?
AJ: I think it’s my reception ability. Just although I could not show it so much last year, but in my second year I took all my back to receive (573 reception yards in 2023, led all RB in the nation). So I have that ability and then in my third year of high school I played the skick receiver and put numbers. So, I think it’s a bit overlooked, man.
YEAH: If I could execute a concept or scheme of execution for the rest of your life, what are you choosing?
AJ: I’m going to choose Inside Zone, man. Special, last season we ran a lot of that, and we executed it a lot at high school. So I only have very good Gothic to execute that scheme.
YEAH: Do you have a favorite touchdown or favorite plays from your entire career? One in which you will look back with love.
AJ: Over the entire race? There are two for me. No one really asked about all my career, so there are two that stand out. I will say that my first year against the state of San Diego. That was my first touchdown in his career as a university athlete, so one is special because I did this really obtained touches like that before that game, then I get the ball and do that.
The next is the state of Washington, sure. Breaking a lot of tacle and just making a crazy race. A type of real reel execution.
JP Acosta (yes): What are you doing with Call of Duty: Mobile?
Ashton Jeanty (AJ): Yes, so I always have a big fan of the Call of Duty franchise. Play mobile is perfect for my schedule, game in the harvester with some different guys and now leading to the draft, I will play it in a live broadcast to make it fun.
YEAH: Who is the best Call of Duty: Mobile Guy with whom you play in The Combine? As if you are playing in the cradle with whom you are trying to play?
AJ: Honestly, I really don’t know. I will have to play with those guys again and re -evaluate their skills.
YEAH: Now, how did you help play Call of Duty with your teammates outside the field?
AJ: I mean, it is an excellent way to connect. Obviously, you are playing the game, that is very fun, but more than anything you can talk, put up and spend time with the boys with whom you are not close every day.
YEAH: What is your favorite map in Call of Duty?
AJ: Oh, it has to be Nuketown, sure. I have to go with the OG.
