When Ashton Jeanty makes his NFL debut for the Las Vegas Raiders this season he might also be debuting a new pre-snap stance in the backfield.

Since high school, Jeanty has stood straight up with his hands to his side in the backfield before the snap, a stance that some have compared to Michael Myers, the infamous killer from the "Halloween" horror movies.

It certainly hasn't hampered him on the field -- he's coming off a Heisman Trophy runner-up season for Boise State in which he rushed for 2,601 yards -- the second most in a season in FBS history, trailing only Barry Sanders, who rushed for 2,628 yards for Oklahoma State in 1988.

However, Chip Kelly, the Raiders' offensive coordinator, wants him to adopt a different stance in the NFL. The process started on the first day of the Raiders' recent rookie minicamp.

"You know, sometimes you have to, you know, go with the flow," Jeanty said in an interview with the "Up & Adams Show," hosted by Kay Adams.

Jeanty said Kelly asked him, 'You ever play basketball?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, I play basketball, you know I can dunk and all that.' He's like, 'OK, show me how you would guard me,' and he's acting like he's holding the ball."

He proceeded to demonstrate the stance with Adams and said Kelly told him, "'That's exactly why you have to be down in your running back stance.'"
