Cowboys use 6th-round pick on Deuce Vaughn, son of team scout

FRISCO, Texas -- For a brief moment, Chris Vaughn did not know what was happening when Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones asked him to turn in the team's card for their sixth-round pick. After all, the picks are now automated.

But when his colleagues stood up around the draft room and Jones symbolically tossed him a napkin as if it were the card, Vaughn realized the team was ready to select his son, Deuce, a running back out of Kansas State, at No. 212 overall on Saturday.

Vaughn, the Cowboys' assistant director of college scouting, was given the privilege of calling Deuce with the news.
