Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 65.57 (Role player)

Pro Comparison: Tarik Cohen

Summary:

Deuce Vaughn is a tiny, low-weight rusher with high-end lateral quicks/cuts. His overall explosiveness doesn't match his side-to-side talent. He has loads of experience and production. He's utilized in the pass game often, even downfield. He has a touch of second-level juice, but long speed is average. Deceptive power through contact due to his super-low center of gravity and thick lower half, but won't run through many tackles in the NFL. He's super patient, which is a double-edged sword; it sometimes leads to him hiding behind his blockers, and other times it leads to lesser gains. He's pretty scary in space and absolutely hides among the trees. He can be a valuable scat back at the next level.

Strengths:

  • Awesome lateral quicks/cutting ability
  • Vision is a plus, even between the tackles
  • Plenty of pass-game experience
  • Contact balance is above-average

Weaknesses:

  • Very small, tiny frame with minimal weight
  • Explosiveness and speed don't match his quickness, long speed is average
  • Tiny catch radius
