It was a bit of a surprise when the Cowboys got through the first two days of the 2025 NFL draft without addressing the running back position. They finally addressed the position with Texas’ running back Jaydon Blue in the fifth round. Blue was a dynamic threat in the backfield for the Longhorns in 2024, but played primarily in a rotation with freshman running back Jerrick Gibson.
