Deuce Vaughn goes viral, but NFL won’t be laughing for long
Deuce Vaughn was one of the feel-good stories of the NFL Draft since it was his own father, Cowboys scout Chris Vaughn, who made the call when Dallas drafted him in the sixth round.
And already in Cowboys training camp he’s going viral, though maybe not for the reason he’d hope.
Video of Vaughn taking a snap highlighted a lot of things, his shiftiness included, but also his height.

Lost in all jokes about the 5-foot-5 running back, is the fact that the Cowboys drafted an undersized, but incredibly productive running back with elusiveness to carve out a role in the NFL.
Clips from training camp are highlighting what a unique player he is with a real chance to mirror what fellow Kansas State legend Darren Sproles did in the NFL.
The NFL may be laughing about Vaughn’s size right now, but wait until they try to get a hand on him in live action.
