Jaydon Blue is using the 'fake story' claiming Dallas Cowboys coaches were concerned about his work ethic as motivation for the upcoming NFL season.

Jaydon Blue is catching attention at Cowboys training camp. He showed off his receiving ability recently with a one-handed catch. He's been called a "blossoming" rookie by his offensive coordinator. And now, his role is increasing. On Wednesday, Blue saw ample time with the Dallas first-team offense for the first time.

The running back competition has a front-runner, but it didn’t come without some early adversity for Jaydon Blue.
