Yahoo Autos Twitter reacts to Deuce Vaughn’s dad getting emotional when the Dallas Cowboys draft his son
Any parent getting emotional over their son being taken in the NFL draft is expected.
For Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn, his father took his selection a bit more personally.
The elder Vaughn is the assistant director of college scouting for the Dallas Cowboys. When America’s Team picked his son with the No. 212 overall pick in Round 6 of the 2023 NFL draft, it hit a bit differently.
When the Cowboys were conducting their evaluations of the former Wildcat, Chris would leave the room.
On Day 3 of the draft, everyone was in the room to congratulate the Vaughns on keeping it in the family.

LOLLLL LET'S GO MAN.
Deuce Vaughn doesn't really fit the description of what they said they wanted, but he's a fun friggin player. Can do it all.
and then there's the other part. His dad, Cowboys director of scouting Chris Vaughn, has got to be so proud and pumped.

Deuce Vaughn's dad Chris is a scout for the Dallas Cowboys. He would step outside the room anytime they did evaluations for Deuce.
Cool to see him get to play for the team his dad scouts for. Dallas is getting an unbelievable player.

If we are just going on pure tape grade, Deuce Vaughn is a top four running back in this class. LOVE that he is capping off a wonderful draft class for the Cowboys, and that his own dad got to draft him!

This is my favorite story of the draft. Deuce Vaughn gets drafted by the Cowboys, where his dad works in the front office.
His dad is in tears as he’s calling his son letting him know he’s the pick. This is what the draft is all about.

Incredible NFL Draft scene: Deuce Vaughn drafted by the Cowboys. His dad is a *scout* for the Cowboys.
He was in the room, got very emotional, hugged the Jones and got to talk to Deuce after he’d been picked.
So so cool. pic.twitter.com/CyRX78Bv7g

Deuce Vaughn ends up in Dallas, where his dad works as a scout!
One of the easiest players to root for in this class, such a dynamic and entertaining back
