Jaydon Blue
2025 Season Outlooks
Blue was selected by Dallas in the fifth round of April's draft. Blue's workload was limited in crowded Texas RB rooms (214 carries in three years), but he was an effective rusher (his 3.83 career YAC is fifth best in this class) and he showed his receiving chops with a 42-368-6 receiving line in 2024. He's a bit on the small side (196 pounds) and has had fumble issues, but ran a strong 4.38 40 at the combine. Blue may open his career behind veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, but neither have played well in recent seasons so this depth chart is wide open. Blue will be on the RB2/flex radar if he wins the lead-back job, so he should be on your radar in the late rounds.
Throughout his three-year career, he only ran the ball 215 times.
Blue was most impressive as a receiving back, averaging 1.58 yards per route run throughout his time at Texas. He would have graded among the top receiving backs had he not dropped so many passes, but those drops are unlikely to be predictive of drops in the NFL.
The Cowboys' investment in their running backs has been minimal, with two one-year contracts and two late-round draft picks. The Cowboys may add another running back at some point before the season or during the season.
