Deuce Vaughn enjoyed another impressive campaign with the Kansas State Wildcats last season. The running back will now be hoping to hear his name called in the 2023 NFL draft next month.
Vaughn's draft profile makes for interesting reading. At 5-foot-6 and 176 pounds, his stature has become a talking point. What he lacks in size, however, he makes up for with his ability.
The 21-year-old has a strong burst and excellent vision to find gaps in defenses. Vaughn can also maintain his top speed over long distances and doesn't shy away from a physical challenge.
His competitive nature and desire to improve are also traits teams look for in a running back. However, some NFL teams may still be put off by Vaughn's size.
