Drafted by Cowboys 6th round - Pick 212- RB Duece Vaughn (Kansas State)

[KJJ]

Oh i am, i know a difference maker when I see one.

BTW...Dunn weighed in at 176 at the combine...lighter than Deuce...lol

Supposed ran anywhere from 4.26-4.38 in the 40, which is blazing fast. My point is...somehow he was able to survive in the NFL at that weight a 4 inches taller....

Right, like you’re a draft expert. Lol Dunn’s prime years were 25 years ago. Players are getting bigger, stronger and faster every year. If you want to believe Vaughn is the same quality talent that Warrick Dunn was then keep dreaming!

Ronald Jones is a downgrade over Zeke and he’s really not that big. He put up 70 yards last season with one TD.

From prime Zeke not from recent Zeke

Recent Zeke is still better than Ronald Jones. He put up 12 TDs last season. He also moved the chains in some key situations.

Oh, the super top secret work out. Gottcha.

No chance his dad was clocking him, right?

If he had legit 4.4 speed he would have ran at the combine. He ran once at his pro day and it was 4.55 range.

Then he mysteriously shows up to the team that his dad is a scout for and runs a 4.41.

Can you at least see my apprehension with this little nugget?

40 times are overrated. He's got good enough speed. Question is going to be the physical pounding over time in the NFL for small guys like him is can he take the pounding over time. We got that question for our probable star back this year in Pollard too.

Because they gave it to him in short yardage situations.

RIght...

Never been easier for a guy like him to survive and thrive in this league than it is right now. Guys used to get killed when Dunn was in the league.

He is what we thought Turpin was gonna be

Yeah, some competition for Turpin.

If they're small and breakable, maybe you keep a spare.

Honestly...this is the most impressive highlight film I have ever watched. I have seen really good ones vs lesser comp...but this is ungodly.

You can't say he's slow after watching those clips. He looks like an elite returner coming out of the backfield.

Howd he pan out?

So I’m watching the highlights for Deuce Vaughn’s college career (seriously - this is a half-hour+ vid posted on YouTube, and Deuce makes great play after great play)… but I’m ALSO noticing how large his helmet is proportional to his body. And it suddenly occurs to me. Does anybody here remember the Rick Moranis character in the Mel Brooks sendup of the movie ‘Star Wars’ titled ‘Spaceballs’? Because Deuce Vaughn… IS ‘Dark Helmet’.

He was basically a one year wonder in the MAC and was still a 3rd round draft pick. That's also before the rule changes and spread offenses that make it easier for the smaller players. Look at the size of WRs coming into the league these days.

Joey Bosa's highlights when he was coming out of OSU was 30 minutes of football smut.

Not well..

IT isn't remotely the same thing though, Archer was playing our lady of the worthless miracle colleges.

He also wasn't nearly as productive, only 1 year.

Joey Bosa's highlights when he was coming out of OSU was 30 minutes of football smut.

And he is one of the best DE's in the league..

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

And he is one of the best DE's in the league..

sure. I am just saying that was the best highlight reel I have ever seen of any prospect. It was like 90 snaps of dominance.

 

[Manster_Mash]

My favorite pick of this draft....by a mile.

WRs THIS year you mean.

Name a current top 10 wr thats 5'9 190 or less.

And surprise, yes, Dri missed four games his last year because he got hurt.

 

[dmq]

Watching his highlight reel, you would think he was a first rounder.

He is explosive ....... as long as his body holds up he will be a star.
