Ashton Jeanty's nickname is Deuce. His twitter handle is Deuce2. He wore No. 2 at Boise State. He says it's because he was born on December 2 when, as he puts it "Greatness was born that day." So, it would seem only natural that he wear the same number in the pros,

The last player to use the number for the Raiders before Carlson was A.J. McCarron in 2018. Other previous users of the No. 2 include JaMarcus Russell, Terrelle Pryor and Aaron Brooks. That trio of quarterbacks combined to go 10-33 in 43 starts with the Raiders.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Friday that their first-round pick Ashton Jeanty will sport the No. 2 on his jersey while with the team.
