Seven Texas Longhorns heard their name called on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Much of the attention was centered around quarterback Quinn Ewers' draft slide to the seventh round, but one of the most exciting picks of the day came when the Dallas Cowboys selected Texas running back Jaydon Blue with the No. 149 overall pick.

Running back Jaydon Blue was selected in the fifth round, 149th overall, by the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday afternoon. The Houston native is the 14th running back taken in the draft. The junior finished his 2024 season with eight touchdowns and 730 yards on 137 carries, averaging 8.4 yards.
