Prescott was hyped for his rookie running back.

The Dallas Cowboys played the preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. While a lot of their starters and key players did not participate in the game, they were on the sidelines to hype the team. One such player was the Cowboys’ starting quarterback Dak Prescott who was seemingly fired up after the team’s rookie running back, Deuce Vaughn scored an impressive touchdown.

Prescott was so excited that he accidentally cussed into the microphone and yelled “F—— right” during the Cowboys’ first preseason game. Prescott can be seen being excited for his teammate, Vaughn, as he completed a 4-yard TD run. Vaughn is competing for the No. 2 running back role behind Pro Bowler Tony Pollard.

Vaughn ended up with 8 carries for 50 yards and 1 touchdown. He was drafted in the sixth round by the Dallas Cowboys and was impressive during his first NFL outing.

There was talk of Vaughn being cut down from the 53-man roster after cutdown day on 28th August. He will be getting a lot of playing time in the preseason and if he continues to impress like he did yesterday, he will be in the rotation come week 1 in September.

The 212th pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Deuce Vaughn, played in the league for the first time yesterday in the Cowboys’ preseason opener against the Jaguars. Although the Jaguars came out on top 28-23, Vaughn impressed with his performance.

He had an explosive 26-yard second-down run and a 4-yard TD run. His overall performance has the Cowboys’ fans hyped for the upcoming season. The 5’5” back is small in stature but is a very explosive runner and has neat footwork.

After an impressive debut performance, he will be hoping to get a lot of playing time this season. The Cowboys already have a strong running back in Tony Pollard and Vaughn will be a strong backup if he continues to perform like this.

The Cowboys will take on the Seattle Seahawks on August 20 for their second preseason game and Vaughn will hope to carry on his stellar performance.
