REPORT: Raiders Fans Turn Preseason Into a Moment Rookie Will Never Forget: “I Belong Here”

   

Ashton Jeanty debut grades: Raiders rookie RB underwhelms in limited action  vs. Seahawks - Yahoo Sports

Preseason football in Las Vegas is never just another exhibition—it’s an early glimpse at the passion that defines the city and its fans. For a rookie wide receiver, that energy is felt long before the opening kickoff.

The roar at Allegiant Thursday night was a reminder that, in Las Vegas, every snap matters and every player is given their moment to shine, even if their NFL journey is just beginning.
It was Ashton Jeanty, an undrafted rookie from Georgia Southern, who seized that moment.

With each route and each catch, Jeanty’s confidence grew, and the crowd responded in kind, eager to anoint the next fan favorite.
"I was blown away by the crowd. It’s just a preseason game, but Raiders fans showed up like it was the Super Bowl. I’ve never felt that kind of love before — they made me feel like I truly belong here," Jeanty said after the game, his gratitude unmistakable.

Jeanty finished with six receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown, including a highlight 20-yard score and a 33-yard grab that brought the stadium to its feet. His ability to separate in tight coverage quickly became a storyline for the night. Social media lit up with praise, many labeling Jeanty a “preseason star” and “must-watch” prospect.

For a rookie still fighting for a roster spot, the spotlight offered both motivation and proof that dreams can come alive on a summer night in Las Vegas. Jeanty’s journey from small-school standout to Raiders camp surprise has been built on work ethic and humility.

 

Coaches noted his quickness in short areas and willingness to absorb every lesson from veterans in the receiver room.
With the Raiders loaded at wideout, Jeanty’s roster path isn’t set. But one thing is certain: for one magical preseason night, Raiders fans made sure he knew he was home.
