The Dallas Cowboys didn't add a running back with any of their first six picks in the NFL draft. With their seventh pick, they grabbed a very interesting player.
The Cowboys took Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn, an undersized player who lit the college football world on fire last season. He was picked in the sixth round, 212th overall.
Vaughn was one of the most dynamic players in the sport last season. He had 1,936 yards from scrimmage with 12 touchdowns. The season before, he had 1,872 yards and 22 touchdowns. He was a big play machine. His ability is unquestioned. His size is why he was available to the Cowboys in the sixth round. He's just 5-foot-5, 179 pounds. He's the shortest player measured at the NFL scouting combine since that information started being tracked in 2003It was a fun pick and also a special family moment. Deuce Vaughn is the son of Cowboys scout Chris Vaughn. When the pick was made, Chris Vaughn hugged Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and team CEO Stephen Jones.
