Deuce Vaughn absence opens door for heralded Cowboys rookie to shine

Blue was consistently breaking off big runs and making defenders miss during the open session.

The Texas Longhorns product showed off his acceleration and hit the hole at top speed before making defenders miss on the second level with a simple cut.

Blue even showed off his skills as a receiver out of the backfield, which should come as no surprise.

Throughout the draft process, Blue was widely regarded as one of the best pass-catching backs in this year's class.

All in all, Blue has been making the most out of his first week of camp in Oxnard.

While he is not expected to start the season as the starter, he will have every opportunity to impact the game and carve out a larger role in the offense as the season goes on.

As Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram said, "Hard to ask for a much better first week of camp from Jaydon Blue."

Remember when someone claimed the coaching staff thought he was "borderline lazy"? Fun times. That's why we let players, especially rookies, prove themselves before floating baseless rumors.
