Michael Irvin expressed a strong preference for Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty over Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden during his appearance on 'Up and Adams' with Kay Adams. He emphasized the significant impact that elite running backs like Emmitt Smith have had in the past, arguing that drafting Jeanty would enhance the effectiveness of the Cowboys' existing offensive lineup. Jeanty, who has garnered multiple accolades and is projected to be a top running back choice in the upcoming draft, competes with Golden, who had a standout season for Texas.
If both are on the board I got to go with Jeanty, now I'm coming back to what I know. What I know best is that triplet formation winning games.
Irvin also pointed out the impact that Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley had on their respective teams as further reasoning as to why the Cowboys should pick Jeanty over Golden.
Golden, who attended Texas and Houston, is shooting up draft boards with some experts expecting him to be the first wide receiver taken in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Jeanty racked up awards at Boise State winning the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award while earning two All-American selections and is projected to be the first running back off the board in many mock drafts.
