The Tampa Bay Buccaneers needed to upgrade their backfield and did so tonight in the third round of the NFL draft by taking Vanderbilt running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn.
Vaughn, who rushed for 1,028 yards and nine touchdowns last season, may have been a surprise selection given that Utah running back Zack Moss was still available. But the Bucs like the fact that Vaughn can catch out of the backfield, something that will go a long way in a Tom Brady-led offense.
See how Twitter reacted to the Bucs’ decision to draft Vaughn.
This guy has been electric since high school days at Pearl. 6.4 yds per carry behind the worst oline, explosive and can break out long runs, and can catch Brady’s short passes. Well deserved, represent the 615 well!
