College football fans can describe Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty in many ways.

He was a Heisman Trophy runner-up, Maxwell Trophy winner, Doc Walker Trophy winner, and a unanimous All-American. But before the NFL draft, fans could also describe him as an underwear model.

Jeanty collaborated with SAXX last month to promote a men's underwear line, which is said to be suitable for all parts of the male body. He told Fox News Digital that he never in his wildest dreams thought he would become an underwear model.

"I don't think so, but, you know, things have a way of happening and that's how it happens," he explained. "You know, handsome guy, great running back, they want you to model some cool underwear, so it happened. I'm glad it did. It stepped outside of my box."

Jeanty said it was Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby who chose him to be part of the SAXX brand, and he said the partnership itself makes sense to him.

"Being a game-changing player on the court, you have to have some game-changing underwear to rock," he said. "I think it's a perfect collaboration. The design, the comfort, all those types of things, they're great to work with."

Jeanty ran for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns in his final season at Boise State, nearly surpassing Barry Sanders' single-season rushing record.

Boise State won the Mountain West Conference championship and reached the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. The Broncos lost to Penn State.
