The Dallas Cowboys select Kansas State Wildcats running back Deuce Vaughn in Round 6 of the 2023 NFL Draft with the No. 212 overall pick.
It was notable and a special moment for Cowboys scout Chris Vaughn, who is Deuce’s father.
Vaughn was a star in college despite him being so tiny. He still rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his last two seasons at Kansas State. Because of his small stature, it will be an uphill battle for the Cowboys’ sixth-round pick to be able to make an impact on the team.
Fans got their first look at Vaughn at Cowboys training camp this week and his size was on display as he stood next to his teammates.
Vaughn is only 5-foot-6 and he looks like a toddler standing next to Pollard and Jones.
His father, Chris Vaughn began working for the Cowboys in 2017 as an area scout. He was promoted to assistant director of college scouting in 2022.
