After the Cowboys' selection in the draft, everyone is curious about Ezekiel Elliott.

Deuce Vaughn, a former running back at Kansas State University, was selected by the Cowboys with the 212th overall pick.

This gives Dallas three running backs that are expected to be on the final roster, which could make it less likely that Elliott will be reuniting with the team.

Vaughn has a height of only 5 feet and 5 inches, but he had significant results while playing for Kansas State.

After two straight seasons with more than 1,000 yards rushing, he is now eligible to play in the league.
