Bleeding Green Nation on Jaydon Blue
From the article
Blue will have a chance to develop behind the scenes... his real value will revolve around his ability to mismatch linebackers and threaten defenses as a receiver out of the backfield.
STACKED’s take
Blue signed to Eagles practice squad as developmental change-of-pace back.
A 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 149 overall) by the Dallas Cowboys, Blue played just 78 offensive snaps as a rookie, logging 38 carries for 129 yards (3.4 average) and one touchdown, plus one target for five yards. During the 2026 preseason, he produced 94 rushing yards on 23 attempts (4.1 average) and two catches for 15 yards. The Cowboys waived him while keeping only two running backs plus one fullback on their roster before claiming Emari Demercado off waivers from Kansas City as their RB3. The Eagles hosted Blue on a pre-draft visit last year and now add him to the practice squad to develop behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley on the active roster. Lance Zierlein's scouting report characterized him as a narrow-hipped, linear runner with good speed to threaten wide and attack downfield out of the backfield; he has adequate wiggle in the open field but lacks base strength to break tackles, and his real value will revolve around his ability to mismatch linebackers and threaten defenses as a receiver out of the backfield.
