A new identity is being built in Las Vegas as the Raiders running backs are ready to bring the Heat. This group aims to mirror the precision and relentlessness of a crew that knows exactly how to execute under pressure.
As the anticipation rises and training camp looms just around the corner, the ground attack’s guided by its new leadership. With some refreshed energy, they are prepared to unleash its full potential during the 2025 NFL season.
Blending youth and veterans, this backfield is set to do what they do best and take scores in Allegiant Stadium. They will look to attack you on every down and control the tempo as they drive the offense forward.
Ashton Jeanty
Ashton was drafted 6th overall less than a month ago and is already the clear-cut RB1 for the Raiders. He’s had success everywhere he’s played and will continue with that trend now in a professional level in the NFL.
Jeanty’s the immediate answer this team has been lacking since Josh Jacobs departed to become a Green Bay Packer. Although a rookie, he’s explosive in every carry and ready to Kickstart My Heart when running the football.
Raheem Mostert

Raheem blazed defenses with Miami from 2022 to 2024 and now brings his experience to the Silver and Black. With 4,690 scrimmage yards and 42 touchdowns, the veteran will prove playing against him is like Running With The Devil.
Mostert’s 28 touchdowns since 2021 tie him for ninth among RBs and show his ability to reach the end zone. His 5.0 yards per carry rank fourth in the Super Bowl era—proof he’s still blazing fast and brutally efficient.
Sincere McCormick
Sincere saw limited action last season but flashed potential as a rotational back and valuable contributor on special teams. An undrafted free agent from UTSA in 2022, he’s spent two seasons developing quietly on the Raiders’ practice squad.
McCormick runs with power and grit, showing he can handle a heavy workload with steady production. Though he hesitates reading blocks, when he hits the hole, he’s a relentless all-in just like an Ace of Spades.
Zamir White
Zamir is a naturally powerful runner with a sturdy lower half that’s tough to bring down, even with clean contact. Though not flashy, he creates with jump cuts and power, punishing defenders like he’s rumbling straight out of Dragula’s engine.
White thrives in gap and inside zone schemes with his wide-base style, perfect for grinding defenses down across four quarters. With two ACL tears and minimal receiving skills, he’s built to be the “thunder” in a classic one-two punch combo.
Dylan Laube
Dylan is a versatile small-school standout whose all-around game could help him carve out a valuable role on the roster. While not explosive, he’s a smart, balanced runner in zone schemes—always gliding forward like a relentless, smooth-driving Highway Star.
Laube stands out with his dynamic skills as a pass-catcher and kick returner, offering versatility in multiple roles. Whether in the slot or backfield, his precise routes and third-down potential make him a valuable asset for any team.
Chris Collier
Chris began at Nassau with limited snaps and modest production, transferred to Wagner, where injures and concussions became early setbacks. He kept grinding through the storm until he was ready to strike like Thunder And Lightning with something bigger.
Collier unleashed his potential at Lock Haven in 2023, rushing for 1,393 yards and scoring 15 total touchdowns. Leading the Bald Eagles, he shattered records and earned national recognition, proving he’s resilient, explosive, relentless, and built for impact.
What To Expect?
This crew is good, and every running back knows and understands that competition will be fierce. Each player will fight for a roster spot to become an integral part of the Las Vegas Raiders offense. Whether as a primary ball carrier or as a rotational role player.
Deland McCullough and Brennan Carroll know that the action is the juice when it comes to shaping the backfield. With their coaching, the RBs will bring intensity, efficiency, and explosive performance on every snap.
Jeanty and Mostert look to be a 1-2 punch, so gimme all you got! McCormick, White, and Laube will fight for the RB3, maybe RB4 spot, and a chance to be special-teamers. Collier looks to be the odd man out.
