There's a reason Boise State star Ashton Jeanty is labeled as one of the best running back prospects in years.
The Heisman Trophy runner-up last season put up near record-breaking numbers all season as he carried the Broncos to the College Football Playoff.
Now as Jeanty is taking part in the NFL Draft scouting process, he is continuing to turn heads.
Jeanty did not compete in drills at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, but scouts and coaches got their first glimpses of him in-person at Boise State's Pro Day this week.
It's pretty obvious that they were blown away.
A video has surfaced on social media of Jeanty going through his workout. It has left fans drooling over the possibility of him being drafted by their team.

Jeanty's shifty jump cuts and burst of speed are on full display.
But most fans are impressed by his jacked physique. We can't blame him for not wearing a shirt...
At the Combine Jeanty measured at 5-8, 211 pounds.
Even though he did not break his single-season college football rushing record, Jeanty continues to get comparisons to Hall-of-Famer Barry Sanders online (Barry was 5-8, 203 during his playing career).
With comparable play styles, stellar college careers, and similar physiques, don't expect the comparisons to stop anytime soon.
The Dallas Cowboys own the No. 12 pick in the first round, and despite fielding many mock drafts for Jeanty prior to the Combine ... there's a much larger chance he will be off the board by their first pick.
The Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6) and Chicago Bears (No. 10) have also been mocked taking Jeanty in Round 1.
Last year at Boise State he ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns on an absurd 7.0 yards per carry.
