The Dallas Cowboys drafted running back Deuce Vaughn on Saturday, and while the emotional component is heartwarming and riveting, the reality is that they also got themselves one incredible football player.
As the dust settles on this draft class a lot of Cowboys fans will wind up picking Vaughn as their favorite pick of the group, or at least the highest value. Consider that Dane Brugler had Vaughn as a fourth- or fifth-round player, and Dallas got him at the end of the sixth.
Obviously Vaughn’s size is what worked against him in the draft process, but imagining it behind the Dallas Cowboys offensive line is a whole lot of fun.
