5-foot-5 Cowboys RB Deuce Vaughn is out here turning heads in the preseason with some shifty runs

The hype is real about the diminutive running back.

Deuce Vaughn is out here reminding us that height is only a number for an NFL running back.

The 5-foot-5 RB drafted in the sixth round by the Dallas Cowboys out of Kansas State earlier this year had some buzz attached to his name thanks to some highlight runs in college and the fact that his dad, Chris, works for the team as an assistant director of college scouting (remember Chris calling his son on Day 3? So amazing).

Thanks to one preseason game? The buzz is getting louder. Dude is a shifty runner who’s making people miss. He’s caught some passes. Am I buying in with some Darren Sproles-type hype? Yep!

Awesome.
