Jaydon Blue update

Don't remember his effort and work ethic being an issue at Texas

 

Cowboys coaches reportedly have concerns with fifth-round pick RB Jaydon Blue’s work habits

Former Cowboys coach Glenn ‘Stretch’ Smith said current coaches have expressed that Blue is “borderline lazy” and that the team is not thrilled with his work habits.

In Dane Brugler’s “The Beast” draft guide, he noted Blue’s maturity being a potential issue: “NFL scouts say he may need time to learn what it takes to be a professional.”

The Cowboys have high hopes for Blue ahead of his rookie season, but it sounds like he has some off-the-field matters to sort out.

I wouldn’t be motivated to work hard for the Cowboys either! 😂

That will be the last Longhorn Jerry drafts

Couldn’t happen to a more worthy owner or GM. I have despised the Cowboys ever since Jerry took over.Miserable kodger.

Blue has had issues since high school. He was on the brink at Texas at one point. Now that he's out of our locker room, he has to do it on his own.

He's going to draft Arch if the Mannings have any say about it.

Former Dallas Cowboys coach has head-scratching take on Jaydon Blue

Quote

Smith was with the Cowboys during the 2000 and 2001 seasons as part of Dave Campo's regime that went 10-22 over that stretch of time, the worst stretch of Cowboys football since the 1988 and 1989 seasons, in which Dallas went 4-28. He has not been with an NFL team since.

So some dude who hasn't been around the game in 20+ years has inside knowledge of behind-the-scenes happenings with a rookie RB? As my son would say, that's sus.

Per the Cowboys, enough said

Hopefully it’s not true like he is saying. At some point he’s got to mature. The NFL isn’t gonna hold his hand through this process.

People still buying into the original fake post.   🤦🏻‍♂️

That's the way I look at it as well.

Click bait.

I hope he has success and by all accounts he is a nice kid, but something like this isn't that outrageous or super surprising if you followed him since HS. He wasn't exactly drama-free at Texas either.

The guy no-showed the East-West Shrine Bowl earlier this year and didn't even provide a reason. That was not a good look.

Hopefully he finds his footing in the NFL and can make an impact. Talented player when he can hold onto the ball.

This article is out of pocket, my my favorite pastime is hating the Cowboys. I've been following Blue since rookie mini camp and everyone I've read, listened to, or watched spoke of how impressed they were with Blue. One bad article is an anomaly not the norm. If Dallas doesn't want him, they're free to cut him after preseason being the 5th round picks have to make the roster and I bet he'll be picked up faster than when hit turned the corner on Clemson.
