Summary
Jaydon Blue is a smaller, compact running back with solid speed and receiving traits, excelling in space with elite burst, particularly on wide zone runs. While his vision can be slow due to limited hand-off experience, he flashes impressive deceleration and back jukes to evade tacklers, though he lacks side-to-side wiggle to consistently make defenders miss. Despite his size, Blue shows surprising contact balance, shrugging off waist-level tackles. As a receiver, he’s dynamic on angle routes but struggles with drops, particularly when attempting to body catch. His raw skills and inconsistency as a pass-catcher limit his upside, but for a team seeking a speedy, low-mileage back with receiving potential, Blue could be an intriguing mid-round prospect.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Stays in Lone Star State
The Cowboys selected Blue in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 149th overall.
The Texas product is staying home, as he'll join the Cowboys' backfield. Blue brings a much-needed infusion of speed to the backfield (4.38 40-yard dash) to complement the power running styles of Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. The rookie doesn't have a workhorse frame (5-foot-9, 196) but he has promise as a change-of-pace option with a bit of pass-catching upside (42 receptions, 368 yards, six receiving touchdowns in 2024). His home run hitting ability makes him interesting even though his volume projection is a concern.
