Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty had the best game of his young career in Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and he feels a return to his usual stance deserves the credit.

Jeanty was asked about bringing back his viral “Michael Myers” stance while speaking to reporters on Wednesday, and he had a simple explanation.

“Sometimes you just have to prove that something can work, that’s all it is,” he said.

Jeanty finished with 138 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries plus two catches for 17 yards and two more scores in the Raiders’ 25-24 loss to the Bengals.

The 21-year-old explained that he prefers to stand straight up in the backfield rather than using a typical running back stance.

“It came about [during] my junior year of college, just kind of did it,” he said. “Coaches will always tell you to do the more bent stance, but I don’t know, I just feel more comfortable that way, more relaxed, just reading the defense. I can’t really explain it more different than that, but that’s just what I do.”

Jeanty added that he understands when there’s pushback about his unique stance, but he’s always ready to convert any non-believers and prove he can excel.

“I just think it’s different, so a lot of time when something’s different, it doesn’t always come off to people that it could work that way,” Jeanty said. “But it works, so no need to change it.”
