Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn‘s stats may jump off the page nearly as much as his lack of prototypical size, but his last two years with the Wildcats show there’s a place for him in the NFL.
Vaughn garnered first-team Associated Press All-American and All-Big 12 second-team honors in 2021 and ’22 after being named Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year. He capped off his FBS career by leading the nation in all-purpose yards (1,936).
With at least nine offensive touchdowns in each of his three collegiate years, Vaughn has displayed elite versatility and a knack for making big plays. However, his glaring dearth of NFL-caliber size will immediately turn off many general managers and limit him to a Day 3 selection.
