What happened: The Dallas Cowboys selected Blue in the fifth round of the 2025 draft, and he made zero starts as a rookie. His lone NFL touchdown came on a 14-yard run in Week 18.

Why it matters: Blue recorded just one reception for five yards, leaving his open-field ability largely unproven at this level. He must turn elite speed into consistent production before the breakout label fits.
