Jaydon Blue

Blue fell to the fifth round of the NFL Draft as he was swimming in a ridiculously deep running back draft class. The former Longhorn displayed some three-down big play ability in his final collegiate season. He ranked 26th in elusive rating, 35th in yards after contact per attempt, and 25th in yards per route run (per PFF). It's not hard to envision Blue having a role in the backfield immediately in Week 1, considering the lackluster players surrounding him on the Dallas Cowboys' depth chart. Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders' best football looks to be behind them. Blue could be the passing down back from Day 1 with an avenue to become the team's lead back quickly.

Jaydon Blue was taking reps as a kickoff returner at Cowboys OTAs on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Blue is expected to also compete for an immediate role in the backfield for Dallas. The rookie out of Texas holds the speed to be an intriguing returner as well. He only returned three kicks during his time at Texas.
