Texans sign former Cowboys feel-good story, hope to unlock college version
After a couple unsuccessful years with the Cowboys, Vaughn will try to latch on with Texas' other team.
The Dallas Cowboys made headlines a few years ago when they chose RB Deuce Vaughn from Kansas State. Vaughn's father, Chris, is a part of the Cowboys front office, which made the draft call possible. Chris informed his son on Day 3 of the 2023 draft that he had been selected by Dallas. Vaughn, a two-time All-American who led the college football in carries in 2022 with over 3,600 yards as a Wildcat, struggled to make an impact in the pros.
He appeared in 14 games across two seasons with the Cowboys, only carrying the ball 40 times. Two years later, Vaughn has another opportunity in the NFL, signing with the Houston Texans. The Texans' backfield currently features David Montgomery and Woody Marks, with the latter leading the team in rushing yards last season with 703.
Montgomery had a remarkable 1,000-yard season last year with eight touchdowns, and he has proven himself as a dual-threat with two 1,000-yard campaigns.
