Jeanty was the Heisman Trophy runner-up last season after rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns on 374 carries. The 21-year-old, who is listed at 5-foot-9, 211 pounds, should be an immediate starter for the Raiders.
Jeanty, a native of Jacksonville, Florida, also had 23 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown last year.
