Jaydon Blue Impresses with 40-Yard Dash at Texas Pro Day

Texas running back Jaydon Blue showcased his speed during the recent Pro Day, clocking impressive times of 4.25 and 4.28 seconds in the 40-yard dash, significantly faster than his 4.38 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. Blue revealed that his Combine performance was affected by a grade two groin strain, which he discovered only after the event, impacting his ability to run at full capacity. His Pro Day results have solidified his status as a promising prospect for the upcoming NFL Draft, despite not being listed among the top-10 running backs by some analysts. In his college career, Blue amassed 730 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns in 2024, demonstrating his game-breaking potential. The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams showing interest in Blue, scheduling a Top-30 visit as they assess his prospects. Blue's impressive speed and performance could significantly influence his draft stock as teams prepare for the selection process.
