Rookie running back Jaydon Blue, selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round, finds himself in a promising position to make an impact early in his career. With uncertainty surrounding the Cowboys' backfield, Blue's explosive playmaking abilities as both a rusher and receiver provide him a clear path to challenge for a starting role, potentially as soon as midseason.

Although the Cowboys are likely to kick off the season with veteran backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders leading the charge, Blue’s dynamic skill set positions him as an essential contributor in an offense seeking balance. His collegiate stats from Texas, where he amassed over 1,600 total yards and 18 touchdowns, showcase his potential to ignite a struggling rush attack.
