Yahoo Sports NFL on Jaydon Blue
From the article
Blue is an explosive, speedy and elusive athlete, who showed ability as a runner and a receiver during his time at Texas... Blue moves with electricity in his feet to make defenders miss in a phone booth and is at his best as a pass catcher on screens, angles and wheels (No. 1 among FBS running backs with six receiving touchdowns).
STACKED’s take
Blue's elite receiving skills and explosiveness offer upside as a pass-catching weapon despite ball security concerns.
Blue is an explosive, speedy and elusive athlete with ability as both a runner and receiver; he is a different kind of back than Pierce and Steele, who are bruisers. At Texas in 2024, Blue rushed for 730 yards and 8 touchdowns (5.4 average) and caught 42 passes for 368 yards and 6 touchdowns. The Athletic's Dane Brugler noted Blue 'moves with electricity in his feet to make defenders miss in a phone booth and is at his best as a pass catcher on screens, angles and wheels (No. 1 among FBS running backs with six receiving touchdowns)' and is 'a threat to make a house call at any point, especially as a receiving weapon out of the backfield.' However, Brugler also noted Blue is inconsistent working through traffic, must improve ball security (fumbled once every 25 touches in 2024), and may need time to learn what it takes to be a professional.
