Another good highlight reel of Deuce Vaughn

[Pass2Run]

Admitting that you are just being a reactionary contrarian destroys your reliability.

The fact he's waiting for him to fail says all you need to know.

I dont root for anyone to fail. If he comes in and does what most of you think he can, then we have a better team.

He had a very good college career. Hes earned a chance to see if he can play at the NFL level.

My personal opinion is that hes, at best, a very poor mans Sproles. And even that will take time to see if he can master the return game.

And for the majority of Sproles career, he was seldom used. Even the two most productive years he was only getting 9 touches a game as a non returner.

Roster spots are valuable. I dont see the fit.

Deuce does not look like he has long speed.

If you watch his long runs, the defenders are often gaining on him toward the end.

Yeah, don't think it is his running speed that makes him dangerous, but rather his burst of speed at take off and change of direction.
I mean many can claim top speed but if you can't see the holes, you hit nothing but bodies

Deuce is just the type of "little guy with talent" that folks love to pull for!!
Let's hope he has the success with Dallas that he did in college!

He displays the level of explosiveness that most RBs just hope to have.

I just have to note that 21.9mph is fast fast. Soccer players aren't wearing pads and are among the best conditioned athletes on the planet. Soccer regularly tracks top speed. 21.9 would put you roughly top 10 in the world.

The above numbers match the eye test on Vaughn far more than his 40 time.

I'm still not going to proclaim Vaughn a future star but I'm not going to discount it either. I again find the fact that people were clamoring for Dallas to take a back late in the draft and now are complaining about his draft position to be rather hypocritical/hilarious. I wish someone would go back to before the draft and bump everyone who posted something to the effect of "you can get an impact RB late in the draft. Don't waste an early pick on an RB."

 

[Proof]

5.5 ypc for his college career...

Also, he was #1 in receiving yards for all RBs drafted in 2023...

yeah I was confused with the meager comment. but then I saw the rest of his posts and realized

 

[big dog cowboy]

He had a very good college career.

He had a great college career.

He had a great college career.

You know he's not going to let it go he seems to be single handedly are you on any thread that has any of our running back draft picks but especially deuce Vaughn and he's literally arguing for weeks against about 10 or 15 other members he won't let it go this dude just wants to be correct he's saying that our running backs are all trash outside of Pollard and all the draft picks are going to fail and he's right and everyone else is wrong no matter what you say or what proof you bring he's not going to let it go.

I think it's hilarious ,it's almost comical, it's a little Comic Relief in the zone that one member just seems to stay at it 7 or 8 pages deep and he just won't let it go.... he has to have the last word that deuce Vaughn i\s going to be horrible, probably not going to make the team, probably going to be on the practice squad, might get lucky to get on special teams...

that's what he's saying instead of actually looking at the videos and looking at this guy's career and how instinctual he is, I don't care what his size is, I don't know what he's going to do in the NFL, the guy knows how to play running back.. he's not a gadget player, he knows how to recognize holes and get through them, change directions, and then we get the whole nonsense that he's going to lose yards behind the line of scrimmage oh you mean like all the other running backs that are similar but bigger like Saquon Barkley, Barry Sanders, and many others that we watch do the same thing.

Out of line.

Ive been supportive of our current RBs and have had nothing but good things to say about our draft overall.

Your reading skills are as bad as your writing.

 

[BlindFaith]

He had a great college career.

Define great then. He played 4 years when most blue chip prospects only play two, maybe three. So yes, he has a lot of career yards.

His ypc isnt even close to great compared to historical numbers.

In comparison he in the last 2 YEARS same as your blue chips had the most carries yards receptions... on an on and on, face it he had a great college career, now will that translate into the NFL... maybe but he has as good a chance as any other RB comming out of college.

Having the most doesnt define great. And to be fair, I did say he had a very good career.

The irony is comical

you knew who I was talking about I didn't even have to mention your name ,guilty as charged! I don't write, I talk to text and I don't have time, I'm an HVAC contractor in Texas, to sit back and fix my replies unless I feel like it.... and for you no way I'm fixing it now that I know it bothers you being run on sentences all day everyday

 

[blueblood70]

Actually you'd be wrong the fact is there's only two other people in that school's history to put up those scrimmage yards for their careers why don't you go back and figure out where Kansas State started realize they do play in the Big 12 they also played Alabama and Oklahoma which we've seen the highlights and I've seen the dude light up Texas which hurts because I'm a Texas Longhorn fan he had a great career only two other people achieved what he achieved in the history of the school and we're not talking about some podunk JV out in the woods Midwest school in a conference you never heard about he played in the same conference that some of the biggest names have played as a running back, so let's keep that straight so I hate to burst your bubble when they're comparing him to a player like bijon Robinson's career numbers they play in the same conference against the same teams pretty much the same schedule so yeah you can compare their numbers.

You do realize that Kansas State won the Big 12...Beat TCU to do so, who ended up in the final 4 of the NCAA playoffs.

That kind of take off and change of direction is more useful as a receiver trying to beat 1 defender than a runner trying to beat 11.

Actually that helps him a great deal as a rb because you need the explosive speed and change of direction due to the fact you have to react quicker at the time of getting the ball. Speed is much much more a factor when it comes to open field for a wr, both before and after catching the ball . Saying that, Duece is not slow by any means. He is actually quite a fast runner. I think some here are just putting a knock on him in this thread just to lower expectations, and I get that. I am not saying he will definitely be a star player, just that his potential is there to be one

good receiving skills will be another reason to have him on the field.
What I mean by that is if he could only be used to run, then considering his size if you saw him in the game you would assume they are giving it to him as a runner. Defenders would zero in in on him. Being that he can help in passing game as well makes his presence on the field not so one dimensional, but rather multi faceted resulting in less focus by defense

So great is define by how many years you play college football?

Tells me all I need to know.

I love to sit back and watch you guys run off at the jaw. It's truly entertaining.
