Former Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue, who struggled to make an impact in his rookie season, has landed on the practice squad of NFC East rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. Blue was drafted by the Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft but faced challenges in securing a consistent role on the team.
Despite showcasing impressive speed with a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and a solid collegiate career that included over 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns, Blue’s transition to the NFL was rocky. He saw limited action during his rookie year, finishing with just 129 yards and one touchdown and being inactive for 12 games.
In training camp this year, Blue was unable to earn the trust of the Cowboys’ coaching staff and was waived as the team finalized its roster. After going unclaimed on waivers, he has now signed with the Eagles, joining a crowded backfield that includes stars like Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley. This makes it difficult for Blue to secure playing time, but it also presents a new opportunity to prove himself.
Blue’s journey reflects the ups and downs of an NFL career, as he continues to seek a chance to showcase his talents. With the Eagles, he hopes to turn a new page and contribute to the team’s success.
