This was the best story of the entire draft. Congrats to the Vaughn family.

[@christexaport]

Congrats to the JONES family and COWBOY NATION! They got a motivator, hard worker, and a phenomenal football player. He can show our locker room how to be a pro, and he WILL make an impact on the field.

Father of the Day! As a Blackman, seeing his love and assurance for his son is a treasure.

[@fullerlifeministryconsulta9126]

Yes sir. What a great father

[@deebeauty8562]

🎉

[@airsofter123ify]

As a Dad, I was told I need to watch this and the tears started flowing. As a White dad in his 50’s knowing the love a dad has for his son!! Wow!! Just does my heart good! Dads in general. Best draft moments EVER!

[@williecarswelljr7518]

What a moment for the Vaughn family. Can't wait to see Deuce on the field.

[@BWIL2515]

Absolutely the best story of any draft in the history of the draft. The love that is in that room was very obvious GREAT GREAT MOMENT

[@chrisbaughman9860]

For Jerry to let his father make that phone call that was a nice gesture a nice surprise shows that Jerry does have a big heart

[@ericb9635]

Jerry takes care of his people.

[@tinam6747]

❤❤❤

[@Fijiboy23]

I agree. This is the best story of the entire 2023 NFL draft. I can honestly say," This kid is going to have a lot of support from me and the Cowboys fan base. Go show everybody what you got kid.

[@christopherclayton7688]

His reaction was priceless, had me tear up as well.

[@jackgodfrey9014]

This guy is a great example of what all fathers should strive to be. What an awesome person and moment

[@KONEIL1775]

And that's a story their family will have forever.

[@evanwilliams6406]

Deuce Vaughn may be short but he plays with terrific heart.

[@t.wells3212]

If you're a dad watching this. Just know it's okay to be emotional watching this.. I can feel his pride and happiness through this video

[@dallasdynasty0077]

You can tell by the dad that the kid was raised right and will give his all for this team! Congrats and welcome to the cowboys!

[@N.a.j.i.]

(OTHER THAN DEZ) I don't think I EVER wanted to see a player we drafted "win" as much as I want to see Bruh win for us!! Let's Gooooooooooo!!!

[@rickcastillo3573]

Congrats to the Vaughn’s and my Cowboys. Can’t wait to see Deuce in the backfield.

[@TruthB7Told]

Congrats to you and your son, he is a Great Player, welcome to Boyz Nation, Baby!!!!!!!

[@catatetherat5138]

His one of us now COWBOY'S nation. 👈 😎

[@pat_n_black7563]

What an amazing father. These next 4 years are going to be the best of his life. Can’t imagine not only being able to cheer for your son in the NFL but also him making plays for the team you work for. Every first down, every TD is going to be bliss for this man to watch. He’s going to have so much fun at the games and he deserves it. Also, mom has to be so happy she gets to be around her son and husband again every day. That never happens to families in the NFL.

[@jjwiggs28]

I'm crying just watching this 😢

[@davidortiz9577]

Man…. Being a father is the best job ever. You work so hard and sacrifice so much for proud moments like these. Happy for the Vaughn family. Happy he’s a Cowboy. He earned every bit of it.

[@columbushill4974]

Great story. His shortness is indeed his super power. By the time you see him its to late he's 50 yards down the field. Touchdown! Go Cowboys.

[@toddself5838]

5,000 all purpose and 3,600 Rushing? Should've gone higher, but man I cried. Got us a DEUCE!!!!!!

[@TrevStoker]

5’5 but plays with the heart of a 6’1 dude.. put him in the slot, and tell me which safety or LB is covering him? And dad isn’t lying, Deuce runs between the tackles & wants all the smoke 💨 love this pick

[@06SteveO]

Very cool moment and his kid is a baller if we can use him in the right way.

[@exposurestoexperience5794]

I don't care what team is your favorite, if you're a football fan and this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you're not human.

[@sportscardsreportcards]

Vaughn touches the ball and The audience at home hears Deuuuuuuuuuuuce sound on tv. Gonna love it 👍🏼

[@tgctv7387]

This has me in my feels

[@davidjohnson5005]

The BEST draft story I've ever seen. I think once he makes the team I'm going to get a Deuce Vaughn jersey.

[@ronlords698]

I believe the best pick of the draft was drafting Duece Vaughn I am so happy for him and his family Duece is a game changer Dallas will not regret this pick Great Pick Dallas Cowboys Duece will not let you down.

[@nicholewhite1421]

This is that story that not just makes you happy for them but makes you cry tears of joy with that father. Congratulations to Duece and his family.

[@Guiltless765]

I'm rooting for this kid so much.. Let's go Deuce 🏈💯

[@Gardocki74]

Very cool. I know I didn't look into this kid until we took him bc of his size. I assumed he was a gadget guy. I watched him play entire games...what Chris said about him not having to be used differently....is the biggest revelation i had about him. He is the toughest little dude i have ever seen. We stole this kid.

[@anagram8]

The wonderful comments here is further proof that sports can unite us if for only a moment and it's up to us to take it beyond.

[@johnnywebb2351]

Totally agree with you 👍 💯

[@claymorekwaramba6937]

Best story I've seen. I'm the newest fan of Deuce . I cannot wait to see this guy make it . His dad is also the best dad and I'm inspired 🏈💙🏈💙🏈💙😭😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@rikevans2237]

So Happy for Deuce! Sure wish he was a Chief, but what a great ending for the Vaughn Family!! EMAW!!!

[@johnnysanders5947]

I’ve been a Cowboys since 74. This is awesome I think your son is going to be great!!!! Looks like another 22 that was pretty good for the Boys!!!!

[@naturenupe6]

I love how he was making mental notes… “my boy is better than that guy” LOVE THAT!

[@joeynickles7962]

I’m a Cowboys hater, but this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I had a sneaky feeling it might happen but to actually watch it live…I ain’t even gonna lie…I got emotional. It was a beautiful moment. For real for real Congrats to Deuce and Chris.

[@doublem1971]

A dream come true!!

[@dennisshehi2304]

I was blessed to watch Deuce play for Kansas State. His work ethic, passion for the game, and God-given skills will result in a tremendous player as well as the tremendous human being he is. Dallas is a very lucky football team.

[@Ghostof_88]

What a blessing & great underdog story. This kid is going to work his ass off for this opportunity, no doubt about it! ☆DC4L☆

[@saleemahmad3503]

Being a Dallas cowboys fan and a father I became teary eyed for mister Vaughn the emotions that this man must have been going through you were a professional sir looking forward watching your son play for my beloved cowboys

[@classicreaction5340]

I've never seen a player with a more impressive highlight reel, and he was doing it against real competition. Deuce looks to me as a quicker, faster version of Darren Sproles. Both as a Cowboy fan and as an admirer of underdogs, I hope Deuce blows up the league.

[@jamesscott6944]

I love this that's how a real dad loves his son cuz man that's how I love my son regardless my son..Proud pops

[@user-oh5fg2bs8s]

This is the best story and pick of the NFL draft . I love what the Cowboys did! Brotherhood, family and LOVE shown here. Why can’t we show more love to each other ??? I will honestly tell you all. I am proud to be a cowboys fans and very happy for what the organization did. I wish nothing but the best to this wonderful young man! Way to go BOYS’

[@lindagrubbs917]

What a beautiful story… what a terrific Dad!!! We at K-State LOVE Duece so much and couldn’t be happier for him.💜

As An Eagles Fan this Makes my Stomach turn in Knots 😫This Guy was Hands Down My Favorite player to watch in CFB for the Past 2 FBS seasons I still hope to see him Be Great But cant believe the Deuce is Loose in Dallas 🤦🏽‍♂️ If your old enough to remember Darren Sproles in San Diego/New Orleans & Even when he got old he was still Dangerous on Philadelphia He is Darren Sproles 2.0 I Guarantee he will have Pro-Bowl caliber season at some point in his Career & I’ll Be Rooting for him Except when My Eagles are in Mix

[@joekordish4737]

This Story is Incredible from beginning of the draft to the end of this interview . The Family said Everything Right in my opinion. Conducted themselves Professionally but at the same time as Family. In levels below this you more or less have to take your family member. He didn’t lobby for his son nor did he Not say his son wasn’t worthy of a chance. But for The Dallas Cowboys to do this the way that they did is INCREDIBLY Heartwarming and Unbelievable. For someone like me that thought I had no words to describe something like this I said alot 😂 GO COWBOY’S !! -DEUUUUUCE !
