Ashton Jeanty has the potential to be one of the NFL's best running back prospects in years, and he recently made sure to let the entire league know just how valuable he thinks he is as the draft closes in next week.

And while Jeanty is clearly an insane prospect after posting some outrageous numbers at Boise State during his college career, what's becoming even more evident is that the 5'8" running back could probably excel in other sports outside of football.

The projected top 10 pick was spotted recently playing basketball in the build up to the NFL Draft, and Jeanty clearly has some insane hoops skills after showing off his dunking ability.

Teams like the Chicago Bears and Las Vegas Raiders have been linked to Jeanty ahead of the draft, however, given the state of the running back position it's possible that teams wait a bit longer to select him, regardless of how talented he is.
