Jaydon Blue is without doubt one of the extra anticipated fifth-round picks you’ll ever see. Because the Cowboys nonetheless haven’t made clear who their beginning working again is in 2025, the electrical rookie is no less than anticipated to see vital touches. An ankle harm has saved him from getting any within the first two preseason video games, however Blue declared on Tuesday that he might be taking part in in Friday’s finale in opposition to the Atlanta Falcons.
The RB place might actually use a shot within the arm, leg, or wherever could be best. Whereas Phil Mafah and Malik Davis seemed good in opposition to the Rams, everybody struggled final Saturday in opposition to the Ravens. It was much more demoralizing as veteran Miles Sanders and guard Tyler Booker made their preseason debuts. Whereas Booker had a powerful recreation, Sanders struggled because the elder statesman of the RB room.
Hopefully, Blue will convey some firepower to the moist musket that’s been Dallas’ preseason offense. QB Joe Milton wants all the assistance he can get, having been confirmed because the starter once more for Friday night time. We nonetheless count on issues to be pretty vanilla, which can preserve lots of Blue’s potential makes use of below wraps. However on the very least, hopefully, he’ll do extra with regardless of the offensive line can present than Sanders appeared able to final weekend.
Granted, regardless of how issues go on this first outing, Blue has no considerations about not making the 2025 roster. It could appear that he and Javonte Williams are the 2 locks, leaving Sanders, Mafah, Davis, and Deuce Vaughn to battle it out for the ultimate spot. And if Dallas is snug with fullback Hunter Luepke as a 3rd RB for video games, that might go away guys like Mafah and Davis vying for the follow squad at greatest.
What we see from Jaydon Blue this Friday in all probability gained’t influence roster selections. However within the wake of some unhealthy preseason showings and mounting frustration over Micah Parsons’ contract scenario, it might assist with any waning enthusiasm for the upcoming season. Thrilling working backs make issues extra enjoyable. Hopefully, Blue’s debut confirms that.
