Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: J.D. McKissic

Summary

Jaydon Blue is a smaller, compact running back with solid speed and receiving traits, excelling in space with elite burst, particularly on wide zone runs. While his vision can be slow due to limited hand-off experience, he flashes impressive deceleration and back jukes to evade tacklers, though he lacks side-to-side wiggle to consistently make defenders miss. Despite his size, Blue shows surprising contact balance, shrugging off waist-level tackles. As a receiver, he’s dynamic on angle routes but struggles with drops, particularly when attempting to body catch. His raw skills and inconsistency as a pass-catcher limit his upside, but for a team seeking a speedy, low-mileage back with receiving potential, Blue could be an intriguing mid-round prospect.

About
