Clint Kubiak’s message to Ashton Ginty that guarantees success

The Las Vegas Raiders should be much better during the 2026 offseason. Las Vegas hired Clint Kubiak as head coach after his Super Bowl 60 win with Seattle. Kubiak held his introductory press conference on Tuesday, which included a great quote about one of the team’s rising superstars.

Kubiak was asked about Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty during his introductory press conference. Raiders fans will be excited to hear his answer.

“I’m very excited about his talent, but what I would say to him and all of his teammates is it’s not about one guy,” Kubiak said Tuesday. “We’ve got to get the line on the same page, we’ve got to get our QB to get the right checks, we’ve got to get our receivers to block for him so we can get the play-action going. As soon as our players realize it’s a team thing and not an individual thing, we’re going to be successful.”

There is no doubt that Jeanti is a talented player in his own right.

Las Vegas used the sixth overall pick on Ginty during the 2025 NFL Draft. Ginty had an incredible collegiate career at Boise State, capped off by an amazing campaign in 2024. He even came up with a 27-yard breaking Barry Sanders’ single-season hitting record.

Naturally, expectations were high for Jeanti to enter the NFL. But the Raiders didn’t make life easy for him in 2025.

Jinty performed as well as he could in a bad situation. He recorded 266 carries for 975 yards with five touchdowns as a rookie. Jeanty also added 55 receptions for 346 receiving yards and five touchdowns as a receiver.

All of which makes Kubiak’s statement about Jeantie and the Raiders absolutely perfect.

Jinty is an elite running back talent, but he will need a support system to help him reach his full potential.

The Raiders enter the 2026 offseason $91.52 million indoorssecond among NFL teams. They also hold 10 selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the first pick. It’s almost certain become KV Indiana Fernando Mendoza.

That gives Las Vegas plenty of resources to build a capable team around Ginty before the 2026 season.
