Jaydon Blue

The Athletic’s Saad Yousuf believes “by the end of the year” Jaydon Blue will be Dallas’ “No. 1 guy” at running back.

Yousuf projects Javonte Williams being the “leading guy early in the season,” but eventually Blue “ends up getting more carries and leading the team in rushing.” Many young players take a month or two to get comfortable at NFL speed — or really, many coaches need that time to understand that the veterans ahead of them aren’t going to tote the load — so this sounds like a reasonable timeline to us. Given how often the Cowboys outwardly project the idea that they want to run the ball a lot, Blue certainly has a reasonable ceiling case as an RB2 or so down the stretch.
