Texas Longhorns RB Jaydon Blue 'Feels Surreal' Joining Dallas Cowboys​

The phrase, "the best stay in Texas," may not only be uttered in the recruiting of the Lone Star State's high school ranks, but even now in the NFL, where the Dallas Cowboys used their No. 149 overall pick in the 2025 Draft to keep one of the state's own home by selecting Texas Longhorns running back Jaydon Blue .

"This means a lot, it still feels surreal to this moment," Blue said of staying in Texas. "I've always wanted to play in my home state, and for the Cowboys, especially America's Team to be able to come draft me, it means a lot to me."

"For me to be able to have a chance to play for them where a lot of my family doesn't have to travel very long, it means the world to me, man."

"My versatility, that's one of the main things," Blue said of his skillset. "Speed, the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, run routes, I'm willing to go in there and pass protect, put my body on the line for the team, and I'm just willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win."

"I'm going to help this team do whatever to get back to the Super Bowl," Blue said.

RB1 I hope. He's only going up against JAGs

 

[Rayman70]

Feelings aside. Go get em kid. Time to hit the ground running, pun intended.

 

[Teague31]

Pet cat for sure.

 

[Rayman70]

I wanted to pair Mafah with Blue since the season ended lol. That was one of my dream scenarios. I'm happy it worked out

 

[Rayman70]

Now we kinda have a Detroit situation at RB. Nice problem to have.

That's the spirit kid!

 

[CATCH17]

I’m super excited about this player.

I think we stole one here.

 

[Rayman70]

I’m super excited about this player.

I think we stole one here.

Preach it Brother.

 

[Aven8]

After years of doing the same thing with the same players we finally have some new blood.

Bringing back Zeke was still the most embarrassing thing this franchise has done in awhile

 

[Risen Star]

He will be better than Dorsett.

 

[HungryLion]

He will be better than Dorsett.

Yeah seriously. Dorset has been milking that one 99 yard touchdown for decades now.

Time to move on.

 

[Proof]

feel like this kid is going to win ( a lot of us) over quickly

 

[DeaconMoss]

So you ar

Now we kinda have a Detroit situation at RB. Nice problem to have.

You are saying Blue = GIbbs? and Mafah = Montgomery?
Thats a WOW from me. Hope you are right.

 

[DuncanIso]

I’m super excited about this player.

I think we stole one here.

Yup.

They must have had this kid on their list from Day 1.

 

[starfan1]

Im excited for this kid as well just hang on to the football. I excited about the Clemson kid also

 

[montgod]

Now we kinda have a Detroit situation at RB. Nice problem to have.

Not to be a downer, but yeah, that's super optimistic. Who wouldn't want that as a fan, but not sure we have the rb pieces to be comparable to DET but I'd loved to be wrong. Now FO go ahead and work with Blue to get his weight up some.

 

[Praxit]

.....Zeke approves of this.

 

[KJJ]

Blue isn’t much of a talker. I don’t think he said more than five words. When the Cowboys called him to inform him they were drafting him all they got were one word responses. It was pretty much, thanks. Don’t remember him ever giving more than a one word response. He didn’t exactly sound excited.
