There are many ways college football fans can describe Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.
He was a Heisman Trophy runner-up, Maxwell Award winner, Doak Walker Award winner and a unanimous All-American selection. But ahead of the NFL Draft, fans can also describe him as an underwear model.

Jeanty teamed up with SAXX last month to promote the men’s underwear line, which is said to be comfortable undergarments for all parts of the male body. He told Pakinomist Digital that he never in his wildest dreams imagined he would be modeling underwear.
“I didn’t think so, but you know, things just have a way of happening and that’s just the way it did,” he explained. “You know, good-looking guy, great running back, they want you to model some great underwear, so it just happened. I’m glad it did. It kind of stepped outside my box.”
Jeanty said it was Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby who chose him to be a part of the SAXX brand, and he said the partnership itself made sense to him.

“Just being a game-changing player on the field, you’ve got to have some game-changing underwear,” he said. “I thought it was a perfect collaboration. The design, the comfort, all those kinds of things, it’s been great to collaborate with them.”
Jeanty ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final season with Boise State, nearly eclipsing Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record.
Boise State won the Mountain West Conference title and earned a bye to the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. The Broncos lost to Penn State.
