The Dallas Cowboys are aiming to bounce back from a disappointing 2024 NFL campaign, and they may be forced to rely on some members of the 2025 NFL draft class to step in and immediately contribute after some key departures and while veterans recover from injury.

Luckily, Dallas put together a strong rookie class and has several promising players.

Among them is former Texas Longhorns star running back Jaydon Blue, who has been one of the most hyped players from Day 2 of this year's draft.
