2025 Projections
Stays in Lone Star State
The Cowboys selected Blue in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 149th overall.
ANALYSIS
The Texas product is staying home, as he'll join the Cowboys' backfield. Blue brings a much-needed infusion of speed to the backfield (4.38 40-yard dash) to complement the power running styles of Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. The rookie doesn't have a workhorse frame (5-foot-9, 196) but he has promise as a change-of-pace option with a bit of pass-catching upside (42 receptions, 368 yards, six receiving touchdowns in 2024). His home run hitting ability makes him interesting even though his volume projection is a concern.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets fifth-round grade from Brugler
Blue projects to be a fifth-round pick, per Dane Brugler of The Athletic's comprehensive 2025 NFL Draft guide.
ANALYSIS
Blue has gone as high as the second round in some other draftniks' mock drafts, but Brugler believes the running back out of Texas will likely fall to Day 3. Only Bhayshul Tuten at 4.32 seconds ran a faster 40-yard dash among the 2025 running back class than Blue, who logged a time of 4.38 seconds. Blue likely lacks the size to play more than a change-of-pace role in the NFL, though, as he's just 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds.
