Dak Prescott is high on rookie running back Deuce Vaughn, who the Dallas Cowboys drafted in sixth round earlier this offseason.

Vaughn's father, Chris, is the Cowboys' assistant director of college scouting.

"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. I think he's going to be a very talented player who can help us immediately."
