Ashton Jeanty leaves fans horrified with 'awful' Swarovski-studded fashion choice on NFL Draft red carpet

Ashton Jeanty’s skills on the football field may have impressed front offices around the league, but his fashion on the red carpet has had the opposite effect on NFL fans. 

The running back is expected to be a top pick this evening in Green Bay with the Jacksonville Jaguars or Las Vegas Raiders at No. 5 and 6 respectively projected to take him. 

But Jeanty already made a splash Thursday night, long before any team was on the clock as he turned heads with his red carpet arrival. 

The 21-year-old rocked up to the Draft at Lambeau Field in an ultra-dark plum double breasted blazer, featuring a floral print pattern and black velvet lapels. He sported matching suit pants and crisp white shirt, topped off with a black bowtie. 

Yet, it was his footwear that truly caught fans’ attention as he walked the red carpet in a pair of Swarovski-studded black Crocs on his feet. 

The shoes caused a stir on social media as many NFL fans ripped the prospect for the bold fashion choice.

‘That’s awful. I hope he falls to the Steelers,’ one claimed on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

A second echoed the sentiment, writing: ‘That just dropped him to the 6th round.’ 

‘Eh, kinda weird,’ another branded the choice, while a fourth added: ‘nah I’m out on him.’ 

‘No accounting for taste,’ chimed in another. 

But Jeanty defended his bold outfit when quizzed on the wardrobe choice by SportsCenter. 

‘Just trying to show you can be comfortable but still look fly as well,’ he claimed.

Jeanty led Boise State to a College Football Playoff berth and could get taken earlier than any running back since Saquon Barkley got taken second overall in 2018.

The Chicago Bears could be plotting a move up to draft Jeanty, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported just hours before the start of the draft. 

The Bears currently hold the No. 10 spot but other teams reportedly believe they are interested in making a deal to move up in order to snatch Jeanty up.
