Where did NFL teams deem the players on that Alabama defense?
Mostly far better than the guy that supposedly "abused" them and all of their NFL talent. Not saying much because most draft picks were made before the Deuce.

No, you made an ignorant comment. Some of the best players in the country were on that Alabama defense. You ought to go to bed.
Rambo on tilt. Its beneath you. At least pretend to be a man.

88 yard run. Bunch of nothing else. K State got beat, soundly. Want a play by play breakdown and not just his one hilight run?
Lol, you claimed they weren't NFL players on that defense and they had 4 players drafted in the top 95 picks and have a history in recent times of having 55 percent of their starters drafted.

I watched a couple of games with Deuce Vaughn, and although he has some wiggle, and broke off some good runs in college, he also has an awful lot of plays where he gets stopped at the line of scrimmage. Due to his slight build, he gets swallowed up easily. I expect he will have an awful lot of carries in the NFL that go for zero yards - more than fans will be willing to tolerate.

He’s a great story, and I wish the kid well. But just based on their bodies of work to date, I have more trust that Ronald Jones will be a better back up to Pollard than Vaughn. Of course, I am MORE THAN WILLING to be wrong, but I don’t have a lot of hope that Vaughn will become a meaningful contributor in the Cowboys offense - at least not until he bulks up considerably. But even if he does, he still doesn’t have the break-away speed that you’d like to see in a backup gadget type RB.

Sorry to fans of Deuce, but that’s my honest opinion. I would have preferred picking Tucker out of Syracuse.
Now watch Bijan against the same top teams not do anything close.

This many discussions for a 5'5 6th round RB. It's really weird how attached members here get to skill players.

Again, being drafted doesn't mean jack.

All we can do is wait and see.

lol, your opinion doesn't mean jack. I can tell you for sure that Will Anderson, Brian Branch, and Jordan Battle are outstanding.

No one is declaring Deuce Vaughn cannot be a good NFL player. But the odds are against it happening, so it is unwise to get your hopes up too high.

BlindFaith is. You must not be reading much.

I watched him rip my Sooners and the rest of the Big 12 apart for the last few years, playing on a K-State team that isn't known for being loaded with talent. I worry about his slight build, but I know he has the ability to do some real damage if called upon. It isn't his game I'm worried about. If his body can handle the grind, he has a chance to be really good. Pretty big if though.
