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

[HungryLion]

The real question is who is pass blocking for Dak as a RB. Vaughn sure as hell can't and Pollard is just ok at it.

You can get guys like that in free agency pretty much anytime you want.

 

[BlindFaith]

He ran a 4.4 at his pro day

No he didnt. More like mid 4.5

 

[Acceptablename]

This is such a great story and pick and such a weird draft I love yours

I am a Big12 football fan and watched this kid blow the doors off everyone for two seasons. This player has a skill set that is rare. I think there is no good reason to think it won’t translate onto an NFL field.

I am too. I wanted this guy. He killed OU and anyone else.

 

[KJJ]

nah,you need long legs to run fast speeds.

My neighbors welsh corgi is proof of that.

 

[Clove]

Not a lot of backs like Sproles he was pretty special. Plus he played at around 190 pounds. He was pretty thick.

I would imagine they would try to bulk him up a bit over the next couple of years. He's a 6th rounder, so who knows.

 

[Sydla]

Situational guy.

They must be content with Pollard and Jones as their regular ball carriers.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

To clear, the kids can ball........we are getting a shorter version of Gibbs

No you can't. If you could, every team would have one.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

either one just because Duece is small and about 170 doesnt mean he cant run up the gut...

he ran for over 3000 yards in 3 years at K State for a reason

Hell as small as he is he may be a threat in short yardage because of his size.

I remember several years ago we drafted a back in the seventh round who had 4.3 speed but didn’t have much size and fans went overboard over him. He ended up getting cut in training camp his rookie year.

Just to think if he was just around 3-5 inches taller Deuce would probably have been a first round pick. I love these types of picks where the player will prove the doubters wrong.

 

[RogerDodger12]

I wouldn’t want him to put on much weight. I am a little surprised he is listed at 180 because he plays a lot bigger. Just let him do his thing because he is super tough and hard to tackle.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

No you can't. If you could, every team would have one.

Pass
Blocking running backs? You for sure can. Zeke is out there right now…..

 

[big dog cowboy]

The real question is who is pass blocking for Dak

Tony Pollard
Malik Davis
Ronald Jones
Rico Dowdle

Pick one.

 

[KJJ]

Alabama couldn’t catch him. I feel like they have some good athletes..

Good luck finding holes like that in the NFL. That looked like a parting of the Red Sea.

 

[joseephuss]

no only will he make the 53 but he will be running it 15 -20 for us and catch some passes too.

I don't think he will get that many rushing attempts per game. Not many running backs get that many rushing attempts per game. I don't think he will get that many combined rushing attempts and receptions per game. He will be a contributor as a change of pace guy and return man. His contribution will not be based on the volume of touches he gets, but on the number of chunk plays he can muster on relatively low amount of touches. I think he is capable and will fit in nicely in the running back group.

Do you know anything about this running back?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

But he’s 5’5. At that height 180 is not small.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Is this the big power back to replace Zeke. LOL.

Why would you ask such a question when he clearly isn't?
