Another piece of good news is that he’s a Texas native and understands the significance of the Dallas Cowboys.
In April, the Dallas Cowboys will be making decisions that could shape the franchise’s destiny for years to come. With several defensive needs but also the desire to provide Dak Prescott with more weapons, the stakes are high.
One of the most coveted players in the upcoming NFL Draft is, without a doubt, Ashton Jeanty – a standout who earned his place as a Heisman Trophy finalist during his college career. The Cowboys would love to have the opportunity to acquire him. However, if that doesn’t happen, a solid and convincing alternative is on the table.

A New Ezekiel Elliott for the Dallas Cowboys
If it’s not Jeanty, the former Boise State star, it could be Jaydon Blue – the ex-Texas Longhorns player who is ready to make his leap to the NFL and draws comparisons to none other than Ezekiel Elliott.
Blue is frequently mentioned in various draft predictions as a potential choice. Analysts suggest that if the Cowboys are seeking a fast and versatile running back, Blue could undoubtedly be their ideal candidate.
The player himself told the press that he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.28 seconds on his first Pro Day attempt, improving to 4.25 seconds on his second attempt – despite dealing with a groin injury that significantly slowed him down.
The downside is his physique, standing just over 5.7 feet and weighing around 194 pounds. Additionally, ball security has been a recurring issue throughout his college career.

Given this scenario, Blue emerges as a prototype running back reminiscent of Ezekiel Elliott – a player who gave his best years to the franchise and proudly ranks as the third-best rusher in team history in both yards and rushing touchdowns.
If Ashton Jeanty, who also faces questions about his size, isn’t the answer, why not take a chance on Blue? The former Texas Longhorns player would undoubtedly relish the opportunity to wear the Dallas Cowboys star.
The NFC East was the main attraction in the last conference championship game when Saquon Barkley’s Philadelphia Eagles faced the Washington Commanders, led by the spectacular rookie Jayden Daniels. In the end, the Eagles secured a dominant victory, advancing to the Super Bowl, where they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs.

In the division, the Eagles and Commanders stole the spotlight, while the other teams-Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants-missed the playoffs. Dallas is looking to build a competitive team, whereas the Giants signed Russell Wilson in free agency to try and compete after several disastrous seasons.
Russell Wilson’s message to the NFC East
Russell Wilson has officially been introduced as the New York Giants’ new quarterback. He visited the team’s facilities and even spent time with head coach Brian Daboll. Additionally, Wilson made his first statements, delivering a strong message.
“I expect to be the starter and come here ready to give my all every single day,” Wilson said on Wednesday. “Being able to lead… I believe this team is looking for someone to lead them in every possible way.”
Wilson, the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, signed a one-year contract worth $10.5 million guaranteed, with incentives that could bring the deal up to $21 million. On paper, Wilson will be competing for the starting job in Week 1.
“I hope to come in and be the starter, earning it every day with my mindset and focus,” Wilson added. “I think when you play this position, my daily goal is to step onto the field, help our team strategize, and ultimately be the best in the world-one of the best. And I believe that’s my mindset, to understand that.”
Giants still eyeing Shedeur Sanders
Despite signing Wilson, multiple Giants insiders, including Jordan Raanan, have reported that the team could still target Shedeur Sanders in the draft. The front office is reportedly high on Sanders, making him a controversial potential pick, especially after the arrivals of Wilson and Jameis Winston.
Currently, sportsbooks have the Giants as the favorites to draft Heisman Trophy winner and versatile player Travis Hunter with the third overall pick in the upcoming draft.
