The Cowboys selected Texas RB Jaydon Blue with the 149th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blue was expected to be the next big Texas RB after sophomore CJ Baxter went down with an injury. However, struggles with his vision early in 2024 led to a pass-catching role for the former four-star recruit. Blue also struggled with ball security, fumbling five times in ‘24 (and twice in '23). Blue still excelled in his receiving role and peaked with a 146-yard, two-TD receiving performance in the College Football Playoff vs. Clemson. Blue ran a 4.38 forty at the NFL Combine, despite nursing a torn groin muscle. His 4.25 Pro Day time may be more accurate to his actual speed.
Blue's blazing speed at Texas could get him a pass catching role on the Cowboys despite only being a fifth-round pick.
