RB Jaydon Blue runs eye-popping 40-yard dash times at Texas Pro Day

[Rayman70]

Achane was a third rounder and this is a deeper class. If somebody drafts him round 2 so be it. Not the end of the world

Great point. As much as I love Achane, this guy is much more complete. Runs receiver routes, has great hands, knows how to get position to body a guy ,box them out. It's beautiful to watch. Then you can line him up in the backfield and run him 20 times a game with no problem. Special teams guy too. Kick returner. It forces the hand of the other team to account for him at all times. Your getting an elite player that is barely scratched the surface of what he can be.

 

[Rayman70]

More like Chris Johnson but bigger and can do more things.

 

[jrumann59]

He's more Emmitt size with more speed

Emmit would be considered small by todays NFL standards, each era the players get bigger, stronger, faster.

 

[Coogiguy03]

That is rare speed. Would be nice to have a blazer for once.

we don't like speed and play makers

Come on now

I like Jaydon but CJ ran a 4.24 at the combine...and he played that fast
These two players aren't close to the same

Chris was a smaller framed guy. Your right in that sense. But both have very similar attributes that are unique for a RB in the NFL. You don't see a player this versatile very often at the position.

 

[Rayman70]

At 5'9" and 195 LBS he is a tweener back, not Vaughn/turpin size but not Elliot size either.

He's just fine.

 

[Rayman70]

The smaller type backs have an advantage. They can avoid getting the full force of a hit, and they can hide . His size is an advantage. It's not like he's Deuce Vaughn size. Lol. He's built kinda thick this kid. I've seen him administer some guys if his own, punishing tacklers

 

[gtb1943]

At 195 lbs he is NOT a between tackle guy. At least not and survive long.

First and third down maybe; depending on the situation second and third down back.

Question is, does he PLAY this fast?

Hits of not guys

He can do everything just fine. But I tend to agree that you don't really want him in there full time. Have him on a pitch count. Have a thumper RB that can be the hammer to help him out on short yardage.

 

[Rayman70]

I think Chris Johnson was around 175-185 soaking wet btw. Just imagine this kid on a pro team. He's not going to hurt you or be a project. He's ready made for this.

 

[Pass2Run]

To me, Blue was always the guy who stood out most, and most consistently, on the Texas offense.

Would love to have him in Dallas.

Yeah, you’re pulling stuff out your arse.

Johnson was a full 2” taller than Blue and weighed 197 lbs at the combine.

 

[Hardline]

A Billy goat homeschooled you.

“Y0u gOt dunn3ng Krogerz…”

At this point all I can do is pity you.

 

[Rayman70]

News to me.

Yeah he plays fast for sure.

 

[Rayman70]

The lightest he played was around 190. So I am wrong on the weight. I recall the announcers always talking about his size and the pounding he takes between the tackles being a concern. Guess it really never affected him much. He was a house call waiting to happen. Blue is much the same and could have a big affect on a team.

 

[Rayman70]

Yeah he plays fast for sure.

Fast, quick, smart, knows how to be like a wr and body up the defender to gain the advantage. Great vision. I have no idea how his pass blocking is. I will let others tell me.

 

[Beaker42]

Is he worth the pick at 12? Or do we risk a trade down and hope he’s still there. I’ve been saying this kid over everyone the last 3-4 weeks.
