Raiders’ Klint Kubiak defends Ashton Jeanty even after benching him during Jets game

The Las Vegas Raiders made a controversial decision during their latest game. Vegas decided to bench superstar Ashton Jeanty in favor of Mike Washington in their Week 8 win against New York. But that does not mean that the Raiders are giving up on Jeanty as their lead back. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said that he absolutely believes that Jeanty can still be a bell cow running back in the NFL. “Ashton’s a young player and has a really bright future ahead,” Kubiak said on Wednesday, per ESPN’s Ryan McFadden.
