6th Round Pick: Deuce Vaughn, RB, Kansas State

[Chocolate Lab]

I hope Luepke kicks ass, but there's nothing like the Deuce cuts leaving people looking like junior high kids.

You know what's cool... Type in "Deu" in the YouTube search engine and all the suggestions are for Deuce Vaughn.

Ten years ago, that might have been cool.

Now it is tied into all the shit that you have been searching and shows how while it looks easier for you, it really isn't.

Type in "Deu" a decade ago, you get something different.

I never use youtube on roku though, because I hate the ads. So it's not that in this case.

If this one has been posted before, fuck off...I will post again.

A full half hour of goodness.


There is a nice play at the 6:10 mark. He is clowning the Longhorns, including Overshown several times.

I also watched a career highlight vid of Tyler Luepke.

He's going to be a pain in the ass for teams for a good while. I can't wait.

I thought Sproles was awesome. If Vaughn can be on that level, talk about value pick.

Here is Sproles in college.

Compare and contrast.

This was like every play.

I am not going to watch a full game tape of NDSU against Jacksonville State. Or Valparaiso.

But watching the highlights was cool, and looking how his role developed.

Special bonus, the local ND broadcaster said Tatanka after one of his many touchdowns.

That is a cool TD announcement.

~sigh~

You blasphemed by calling him TYLER Leupke.

Vaughn is going to bring some serious juice to the offense, it's going to be nice having a second RB who is actually a legitimate threat out of the backfield compared to the complete lunacy that was motioning Elliott out into the formation and running routes.

Yeah the more I watch him the more I realize he wasn't just a stellar rusher. His receiving is elite. Not sure how it all translates to the NFL yet but it could turn out pretty damn fun. I hope they don't just use him as a gadget guy. He is a legit all around RB.

McClay said he's someone we can run our whole offense with, that's TBD of course and I'm skeptical about the pass protection, but I don't see why he can't get 8-10 touches a game in the normal flow of the offense.

We'll see whether or not it's lip service but I think it's definitely realistic.

Yeah, I mean I'm not expecting him to be a workhorse. Honestly I don't really think we need that. We need someone who can share the workload with Pollard. You really don't want Pollard carrying the ball more than 15 times a game. Hopefully this kid can pick up that slack with Ronald Jones chipping in here or there. Our two minute offense is definitely more exciting with Vaughn or Pollard on the field.

Yep, I've been a fan of his for years but I didn't realize how many passes he caught... and not dumpoffs or screens, but passes down the field.

And a lot of those passes were pretty off target, too. But no problem for him.

but will his height limit his pass catching? The NFL is so much different than college.

Here is Sproles in college.

Compare and contrast.

I didnt realize both dudes went to K State. Thats significant.

Here is Sproles in college.

Compare and contrast.

one thing I see is that Vaughn is/was (in college) significantly better catching the ball than Sproles.

That's the one thing I think his height will really hold him back on. He'll be able to catch screens and dumpoffs definitely. But down the field where he's covered? I think he'll be limited there.

Well coming from Dak who throws low anyways it should be a perfect pass.

The little guy doesn’t need a lot of room to operate and can get to open space in no time. His best attack seems to be up the middle then juking the defensive secondary. They are grabbing air most of the time. He is especially good at keeping his momentum in a fairly straight line once he clears the line.
