Ryland B.: Vaughn has become a very popular late-round selection in Steeler mock drafts, and I can see why. He’s incredibly fast and shifty with some lethal jukes up his sleeve. Vaughn is a good receiver and despite his small frame he has good leg drive and physicality. However, his size is a major issue as he just doesn’t have the mass (listed at 176 lbs.) to be a punishing runner or blocker. In pass protection, he shows good effort but simply lacks the size to be effective. I also worry about his durability at the NFL level. Vaughn has some promising traits, but I struggle to agree with spending a draft pick on a running back his size.
