Or a $1,500 alpaca sweater? Hit up Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n<p>One thing the famed fashion house isn\u2019t known for? Football cleats.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue, somewhat inexplicably, found that out the hard way this week as he was forced to ditch a pair of Nike\/Louis Vuitton football cleats because they were giving him blisters.<\/p>\n<p>For a player who was at one time splitting first team reps with Javonte Williams during training camp before an ankle injury sidelined him for the last month, it\u2019s hard to understand why Blue was even taking a chance on the fashion friendly spikes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCowboys RB Jaydon Blue debuted new Louis Vuitton-Nike cleats at practice on Thursday, and HC Brian Schottenheimer laughed in saying that it was a \u2018questionable decision.\u2019 \u201d The Fort Worth Star Telegram\u2019s Nick Harris wrote on his official X account on October 3. \u201d \u2026 Blue changed out of his shoes and the blisters got better. (There\u2019s no concerns about his game availability, for the record).\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Williams Took Over RB1 Duties for Cowboys<\/h2>\n<p>While Blue may have competed with free agent veteran Javonte Williams for the starting spot during training camp, Williams has left little doubt as to who the Cowboys\u2019 RB1 is moving forward and has been a breakout star on offense through the first 4 games.<\/p>\n<p>Williams leads the Cowboys with 312 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns to go with 16 receptions for 74 yards and is averaging a career high 5.0 yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>To put it in perspective, the Cowboys rushed for just 5 touchdowns, total, in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Williams struggled the last few seasons with the Denver Broncos, where he rushed for just 513 yards and 4 touchdowns in 17 games in 2024 and averaged an underwhelming 3.7 yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>While Miles Sanders has served as RB2 through the first month, it appears Blue will get his chance in that role on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very excited,\u201d Blue told The Cowboys Network. \u201cI was waiting for my time. I stayed patient. I was told to trust the process. I knew eventually if I stayed consistent and worked hard that time would come.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Injuries Stole Blue\u2019s Momentum in Preseason<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">In the\u00a0Cowboys\u2018 final preseason game, against the Atlanta Falcons on August 22, Blue was forced to exit the game in the second half following an ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">It was the second significant injury setback for Blue in the preseason. On August 7, Blue had to leave practice with an ankle injury\u00a0and had been out for several weeks leading up to the game against the\u00a0Falcons.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">The first time Blue was injured, he had just started to\u00a0earn reps with the first team offense.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Against the\u00a0Falcons, Blue had 9 carries for 25 yards and 1 touchdown before he was injured running the ball in the second half. It was the first preseason action for Blue after he missed the first 2 preseason games due to his original ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Articles \/ Paragraph Links\">Blue was a fifth round pick\u00a0(No. 149 overall) in the\u00a02025 NFL draft\u00a0out of the University of Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Adame covers the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.
