Cowboys Fans Saddened by Projection to Cut Loose Deuce
FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys running back Deuce Vaughn has been living a football fairy tale ... and it might be ending soon. Having been a fan favorite since being drafted in 2023 with his father, Chris, a scout for the Cowboys, delivering that emotionally charged phone call to let his son know he had been drafted, it has been two years of tough sledding for Deuce. Advertisement And after the NFL Draft, it's gotten that much tougher with Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah both being selected. Plus, new coach Brian Schottenheimer can squint and envision them as potential starters. But now, as attention turns to the offseason programs, Dallas has trimmed its roster to 90, and running back Malik Davis was one of the four players the franchise waived. That's one less player Deuce has to usurp. Now, with OTAs about to get underway here inside The Star, Vaughn still has a huge hill to climb with Miles Sanders, Javonte Williams, Blue, Mafah, and even fullback Hunter Luepke ahead of him. Advertisement But the path forward is becoming clear for Deuce. ... and it's likely to end in a way fans don't want it to. When we break down the Cowboys' 53-man roster predictions and we don't include Deuce? Fans don't love it. The problem with the diminutive runner? He's not bigger than Dallas' big backs, or faster than the fast ones, or more shifty than the shifty ones. In short ... There's nothing that he does that is anywhere close to being better than anything that these other guys do. Deuce hasn't managed to set himself apart from the other backs on the roster since arriving at The Star, let alone the new ones coming in, and who knows, maybe with Conor Riley, his former coach at Kansas State, might help tilt the scales in Deuce's favor. Advertisement But even as a second kick returner alongside KaVontae Turpin, there are now better options. And besides, as you are trimming this roster in the coming months, do you hang onto a player because he's a backup kick returner?
