Jaydon Blue reminds me of Tony Dorsett

Similar size and speed:

• Tony Dorsett: 5' 11", 192 lbs, 4.30 40 time
• Jaydon Blue: 5' 9.5", 196 lbs, 4.38 40 time

The Dallas Cowboys have not had this much speed at running back since Tony Dorsett.

Similar running styles: "free flowing" running style where they can slip and slide while having more of a north/south running style than an east/west but still able to change direction and juke opponents. Quick burst when hitting a hole and lots of speed, plus a breakaway home run threat.

Also, Jaydon Blue has very low college rushing miles, barely turned 21 today on March 13, 2025, and is a very fresh dual threat weapon at running back just like Tony Dorsett was coming out of college.

Would love to see the Cowboys draft Jaydon Blue. What say you?

Except TD was a Heisman winner and all time NCAA rushing leader at one time.

Honestly, though, I don’t know much about Blue because I did not watch Texas play very much. I do know our offense could use some speed though.

It is quite lovely watching someone with true speed which Blue seems to have in spades. Would love to have him, can our ol open up any kind of hole though?!

Blue, Henderson, RJ Harvey has more than enough football speed with elite feet, vision. Id love any of them. I want Jeanty but it ain't likely at 12.

Blue isn't just all about speed. Most of his most impressive runs were between the tackles.
And he has great hands.

I’ll take him.

They’re all better than Jeanty. He stopped producing the harder their opponents became.

That happens to just about every RB that faces better defenses. Blue isn't anywhere near Jeantys level.
Jeanty had over 100 yards against Penn State even with them selling out to stop him.

Eh, I think he’s a lot closer to the Peat kid we signed as an UDFA out of Missouri who’s playing in Canada than he is to Dorestt!

I may be in the minority but I'm not as a high on Blue. If he has an open lane he can exploit it with his speed, however, he runs with absolutely no power and doesn't break tackles most running backs can. Look at the vast majority of his highlights. They're typically of him being untouched.

Even as a 3rd down back I prefer Brashard Smith over Blue.
