Jaydon Blue has to show the Cowboys something.
The fifth round running back from Texas was anticipated as a sparkplug. He was compared to Darren Sproles by his head coach. A red carpet of preseason hype became a dud on the field.
Blue had 38 carries for 129 yards and 1 touchdown in his rookie season. He didn't see the field the first four games.
But it's the dawn of a new day. The Cowboys signed veteran Javonte Williams to a 3-year deal but the backup role is wide open. In today's NFL a backup can work into a timeshare and even a starting role.
