Tony Pollard and Deuce Vaughn are going to be nightmares to handle for opposing Defenses

I'm actually concerned about Overshown now. Deuce in my opinion is basically a poor man's Sproles. And Sproles was a nice back but nothing to get overly excited about. Vaughn is a nice story and I'm pulling for the kid but people need to temper the expectations.
Deuce is a guy who will make opponents doubt themself:
"Do I belong in this sport?"

Deuce is also the type of guy who on some plays will make all of us wonder:
"Why is this little guy on the field?"

The question for Deuce's success? Will there be more of situation A, or situation B?

Overshown won't be asked to tackle 5'5" insanely small, insanely quick jitterBacks. Currently, the Cowboys have the only one.

Watch this tape. All of it. Deuce is actually serviceable in pass protection when asked to.


I dont understand any negativity about a 6th round draft pick that comes with insane upside, I mean there is no downside, Duece cant get any smaller.
I look at it this way, DV has been the smallest in house his entire life so he has to have a heart of a lion, a tremendous desire and motivation to overcome
his shorter stature his entire career since before high school ball.
That represents extremely high character and desire to be the best everyday, something very difficult to achieve, DV has already proven that in spades.
This level is his next pressing achievement, guarantee you DV is already adjusting to the speed of the next level in his head while sleeping at night.
Meaning that this young man has been breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions his entire life!

No one will know how successful Deuce can be until training camp with live action, along with preseason games. He could earn a roll as a backup or situational player, or he could be a total flop and not make the 53 man team. If there was no doubt about him, he wouldn’t have still been on the board in the 6th round. College means nothing at this point for him. Only time will tell.
