In 2024, Jaydon Blue was an important piece of Steve Sarkisian's offense alongside Quintrevion Wisner in the Texas backfield. Blue was garnering hype as an incredibly dynamic player, both as a runner and pass catcher out of the backfield. Now he's carried that excitement over to the NFL.

Blue was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 5th round of the 2025 NFL Draft back in April, and he's spent the last couple of months impressing the coaching staff. His calling card or specialty towards the end of his collegiate career revolved around his speed and deadly receiving ability on different screen, "Texas", flat, and swing routes.
