There’s no denying that\u00a0Jaydon Blue, the Dallas Cowboys’\u00a0fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was one of the most explosive running backs in the country last season with the Texas Longhorns.<\/p>\n

Blue averaged 5.4 yards per carry while serving as a lethal pass-catching back with 42 receptions. His speed is evident on film, continuously breaking off runs that leave defenders in the dust.<\/p>\n

While he doesn’t fit the profile of a workhorse back, he brings some serious explosiveness. After logging a 4.38 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, Blue believes he’s capable of running even faster.<\/p>\n

Blue recently told Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com that he’s a sub-4.3 type guy.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys need playmakers in a big way. Outside of Ceedee Lamb, there’s a ton of room for offensive production. Not only that, but the running back room is less than inspiring, with Javonte Williams potentially battling seventh-round pick Phil Maffah to handle early down work and Blue slated for a bit of a lower workload on the ground but plenty of looks through the air.<\/p>\n

Brooks, after the catch, is very dangerous. At his fifth-round draft price, he could be a bargain for the Cowboys offense as they aim to get back on track.<\/p>\n

We’ve seen explosive receiving backs become some of the premier weapons in the NFL in recent years, particularly James Cook in Buffalo and Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the Cowboys will be hoping to have found the same type of back that can make an instant impact at a big NFL Draft bargain. Whether Blue is a sub-4.3 speed type of guy remains to be seen, but whatever the official time is, he has easy play speed that can definitely make a difference.<\/p>\n
