Twitter reacts to Cowboys selecting SMOL RB, scout’s son, Deuce Vaughn
The Dallas Cowboys have finally drafted the running back the world has been waiting on. After releasing Ezekiel Elliott earlier in the offseason, Dallas has met to numerous running backs in the pre-draft process. One star player didn’t make the cut, but was consistently named when it came to possibilities.
With pick No. 212 and the need still unfulfilled, the moment happened. Dallas selected Kansas State running back and two-time All-American Deuce Vaughn. The reason he was always linked with the club? His dad is Chris Vaughn, director of scouting for the organization.
The selection, of course, brought a round of emotional responses from the folks in the Cowboys War Room and those covering the team. On his own merit,Vaughn is an extremely exciting player, which is something that’s been perceived as lacking from the Dallas draft class. But tie in the emotional nature of a father getting to see his son’s dream come true and come to work at the same gig?
Chunk up the DEUCE! ✌️
Got a feeling @C_Vaughn22 is already pretty familiar with Dallas 😉#CowboysDraft | @Fanatics pic.twitter.com/IcSUdwdEei

Short people unite: The #Cowboys select Kansas St. RB Deuce Vaughn — all 5-foot-5 of him — at No. 212.
As @MoveTheSticks mentions, his father scouts for Dallas. Very cool.

This is so much better than Greg McElroy's dad working in the ticket office. https://t.co/Dd3X2P7vBr

LOLLLL LET'S GO MAN.
Deuce Vaughn doesn't really fit the description of what they said they wanted, but he's a fun friggin player. Can do it all.
and then there's the other part. His dad, Cowboys director of scouting Chris Vaughn, has got to be so proud and pumped.

What Deuce Vaughn might lack in size he makes up for with patience, incredible hands, and a Madden-like jukestick. The son of a scout, Vaughn had 116 career receptions and 43 total TDs in 3 seasons at Kansas State. pic.twitter.com/TYnFQ2PmnR
