Jaydon Blue alternated with Javonte Williams with the 1st team My Take: I think he may have his own complementary role in this backfield (say, 5-10 touches). If Javonte got hurt, it would elevate but prob not 15+. Solid dart throw. Via @clarencehilljr

Year one was disappointing; Blue recorded 129 rushing yards, 1 TD, and 1 fumble in 5 games. Reports surfaced during training camp of maturity and professionalism concerns, later confirmed by head coach Brian Schottenheimer. A fumble in Week 7 against Denver seemingly put him in the doghouse until Week 18. Despite being drafted for big-play and pass-catching ability, game-breaking plays were few in the regular season. Heading into year two, the RB2 job is up for the taking, but Blue faces a heavyweight fight with Malik Davis and Phil Mafah. He must clean up fumbling issues, improve pass protection, and address maturity concerns to win the job.
