Cowboys rookie running back Deuce Vaughn was arguably the most talked about Dallas player after the team’s 28–23 loss to the Jaguars in the preseason on Saturday.
Vaughn, who was selected in the sixth round of this year’s draft, finished with eight carries for 50 yards and a touchdown on Saturday. Fans were quickly impressed by Vaughn’s footwork and offensive skills.
One of Vaughn’s biggest fans appears to be Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Even though he didn’t see any action during the game, Prescott was hyped after Vaughn scored a four-yard rushing touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter. He was seen jumping up and down and running on the sideline in excitement.
