'25 Draft Film Study - Texas RB Jaydon Blue

Cowboys wanted juice at the skill positions and Blue will have a chance to provide it.

For the next month, we will grab a different Day 3 Cowboys draft pick and break him down with his very own film study about once a week. I see no reason to be in a big hurry as Cowboys camp is a long ways off, so let’s give each one their own day.

This week, it is 5th round RB Jaydon Blue. We certainly know his work, but I wanted to dive into him as thoroughly as possible.

No. 23 - Jaydon Blue - Age 21 - Jr - 5’9 - 196 - 4.28 - Texas

2nd percentile hand size!

Here were some interesting numbers from Warren Sharp:

• 4.28 40 at pro day - #1 in class

• 73% of rush yards were after contact - #1 in class

• 4.0 yds after contact/rush - #4 in class

• 3.4 YPC when hit at/behind LOS - #1 in class

• 25% target % - #2 in class

• lined up in slot on 16% of routes - #1 in class

• Native of Houston where he played at Klein Cain HS. There he ran the 100 and 200m and was a 4-star recruit that committed to Texas as class of ‘22.

• Very limited play in his first two seasons and started just 5 games at Texas.

• His 2024 was much more expansive and he had five games of over 100 yards of total offense and then declared for the draft.

2022 - 16 snaps, 1 missed tackle, 26 yards after contact, 0 fumbles - 55.1 PFF

2023 - 98 snaps, 12 missed tackles, 129 yards after contact, 1 fumble - 77.1 PFF

2024 - 378 snaps, 36 missed tackles, 394 yards after contact, 4 fumbles - 74.8 PFF

For the study, we used Arkansas, Clemson, and Ohio State.
