Elliott remains in search of his next club, though there have been rumblings he could rejoin the Cowboys at some point. For now, Zeke’s chapter with the ‘Boys has closed, even though he’s still in regular communication with the face of the franchise.
For Vaughn, a new chapter is being written and so far, it’s a feel-good story that began with Chris Vaughn, Dallas’ assistant director of college scouting and Deuce’s father, calling the Kansas State rusher to tell him he was the newest Cowboy on Day 3 of the draft. The memorable tear-jerking moment garnered headlines, but Vaughn will now be looked on to garner yards for a Dallas offense that could need him from the jump.
With Dallas RB1 Tony Pollard on the mend from a broken leg, Vaughn and other ‘Boys backs such as Malik Davis and Rico Dowdle could see more opportunities.
Prescott, for one, is enlivened by what Vaughn could bring.
“That was one that you do get excited about when you see that story,” Prescott said. “Understanding going into it knowing who he was, knowing his dad, thinking how cool that would be if you could make that happen. I did pay attention enough that he was there in the (sixth) round or something, was like how is he still there? Seeing that, seeing that reaction, just knowing how great of a guy Chris, who is the father, is. I’m excited about Deuce being in there.”
