If you want to understand just how insane some of the hype around Ashton Jeanty has gotten, go back just a little bit, to last month, and remember the noise around ... his stance. His stance.
Jeanty, while at Boise State, used a more upright, pre-snap stance. Most backs in the pros don't do that. They tend to crouch more. The theory of the case is that backs want to run as low to the ground as possible after getting the snap so they're more prepared to take on defenders who will also be low.
This is all deep inside football wonky stuff but, ahem, this is why you're here. You're an inside football wonky kinda person.
Jeanty told journalist Kay Adams that Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly stated that he'd like Jeanty to switch to a more traditional stance. This led to so much online arguing/chatter/incredulity that Kelly decided to address The Stance at a recent press conference.
