Boise State Broncos star running back Ashton Jeanty is the best running back in college football, and finds himself squarely in the Heisman Trophy conversation as the calendar hits mid-November.

Jeanty, whose Broncos are 8–1 and 5–0 in Mountain West play, is the key reason why the program has a great shot to make the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Broncos are ranked 13th in the CFP poll but would be in the field if the season ended today as the top-ranked Group of 5 program.

With Jeanty's big season boosting him on to the national stage, he was asked which NFL team he'd love to play for. It should come as no surprise that Jeanty, a Lone Star High School grad, would script himself to the Dallas Cowboys.

"If I could script it, I mean, my family's all in Texas. I used to play in the Cowboys practice stadium. So family being there, all the connections, all the relationships. I feel like that would be just the perfect city to play in."

Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty sounds like he would be excited if he got drafted by the #Cowboys:

Through nine games this season, Jeanty has carried the ball 224 times for 1,734 yards and 23 touchdowns, while averaging 7.7 yards per attempt. Those are all career-highs for the 20-year-old junior.

The Broncos travel to San Jose State on Saturday night as the program looks to continue its march to the Mountain West title game.
