The\u00a0Da<\/a>llas Cowboys\u00a0wanted to revamp their ground game this offseason, so they signed veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders. While those two\u00a0give them experience, the Cowboys are hoping rookie Jaydon Blue can\u00a0give their offense a spark.<\/p>\n

Blue played behind some elite backs while at Texas, but he showed out in 2024 when finally given a chance to be the featured back. He had 730 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground as well as 368 yards and six touchdowns through the air.<\/p>\n

He then went to the NFL Scouting Combine and posted a\u00a04.38 in the 40-yard dash. He now has his sights set on being a big part of the offense, and recently posed for a picture with someone who is no stranger to making big plays.<\/p>\n

Dez Bryant, who had 7,459 yards receiving and 73 touchdown catches in eight seasons with the Cowboys, posed for a photo with the rookie running back. Blue shared the picture on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n
