Jaydon Blue is the fastest offensive player we drafted this century

Lol, they just drafted the fastest back in the draft and one of the biggest. Their draft was outstanding.

Randall wiliams was blinding fast

Hey now.

lets be blunt. Blue seems to be the best but we shall see
after him? Tell me what makes them more than jags?

People falling in love with speed for speed sake always amuses me. If the speed was paired with actual talent the guy would have lit the world on fire in college. Unless they played at a small school with no line, no QB and no other threats on offense. Playing at Texas with draftable linemen blocking for you, with a drafted QB throwing to first round draft pick receivers and your entire college career would fit inside one season of Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith's college career. I hope the kid is the next Barry Sanders.... but I aint holdin my breath. He's more likely another version of the kid Lance Something? who could really run but could never stay healthy.

Yeah Williams was a lot faster than this Blue kid.. but could never put it together as a player.

I hope he works out. I'm glad to finally have elite speed from a offensive draft pick. He's about the same weight as c j 2k. Ill give him a chance. He can add 6 pounds and still run 4.3.

Butler? was he an UDFA or was he drafted. he had a 4.25 speed at WR.

The tape. TBD. Let's see what happens

Emmitt is listed as 221 LBS in a 5'9 frame, somewhat more compact than Blue.

I don't really understand the comparison. Blue is 200 LBS in a 6" frame.

I think Blue would be perfect filling the role of RB2 like Pollard did when Zeke still had gas.

The Cowboys don't need another Zeke. They just need a consistent pounder. I suppose there is a possibility that Mafah, our other drafted rookie RB, could be that guy but will he be at 100% when training camp starts?

I agree with you that he MIGHT be too small for a full time 3 down back role but I'm holding out hope that he is more of a Darren Sproles type that can play every down but faster. There is no mistaking this kid is FAAAST!
