Since high school, Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty has lined up in the backfield with a straight posture and hands at his sides—a stance some have compared to Michael Myers from the “Halloween” movies.
During the offseason, the Raiders‘ coaches encouraged Jeanty to adopt a more conventional running back stance.
As a result, former NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe is calling out offensive coordinator Chip Kelly for altering the 21-year-old’s stance in the first place.
“It’s a bent knee game,“ Kelly said in May (h/t Ryan McFadden of ESPN).
After the game, Jeanty made it clear that the “Michael Myers” stance isn’t going anywhere.
