Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty arrived at the 2025 NFL Draft with some style and drip, and that includes his footwear.
Jeanty, who finished second to Travis Hunter in the Heisman Trophy race, was seen walking into Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the NFL Draft Red Carpet in a flower pattern suit and bedazzled Crocs.
Crocs at the NFL draft? Yes, you read correctly. After all, comfort over anything else, right?
‘Just want to show you can be comfortable and still look fly, as well,’ Jeanty told ESPN’s Laura Rutledge on Thursday.
The Boise State tailback is one of the more highly sought-after prospects in this year’s NFL Draft class, and is ranked No. 3 on USA TODAY’s big board of prospects. The 5-foot-9 running back out of Florida is expected to be taken in the top 10 of Thursday’s opening round, and could go as high as No. 5 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to USA TODAY’s Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz.
Here’s a closer look at what Jeanty was seen wearing on the red carpet at the NFL draft on Thursday:

As previously noted by USA TODAY, Jeanty is expected to become Boise State’s highest-drafted player on Thursday since Ezra Campbell went in the second round in 2020. He is also expected to be the first Boise State player to be drafted in the first round since the Dallas Cowboys took Leighton Vander Esch in 2018.
Jeanty finished 29 rushing yards shy of breaking Barry Sanders’s NCAA single-season rushing record of 2,628 yards, which the former Detroit Lions running back set at Oklahoma State in 1988. In Boise State’s College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal game vs. Penn State, Jeanty only recorded 104 rushing yards on 30 carries.
The NFL draft gets underway at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network from Titletown, USA and Lambeau Field.
