Moment Dallas Cowboys scout tells son he made NFL team

Dallas Cowboys scout, Chris Vaughn, has shared the emotional moment he got to call his son, Deuce, and let him know he'd been called up for the NFL team - after years of refusing to influence the team's picks.

"Look here, man, do you want to come to work with me next week?", Vaughn asks, on the verge of tears, to which the running back casually responds: "I wouldn't mind that at all."

"In 30 years of this league, I've never seen anything like that. That was a very special moment", head coach, Mike McCarthy added.

Damn as a father to go through that can’t even imagine the feeling of joy he felt making that call, go cowboys!!!!

[JonDoe-im]

Dad said, he won’t let you down…I promise you that.

He raised a warrior, congrats to both!

Die hard Jags fans here, but dammit man, THIS is what it's about. So damn cool. I can't imagine how that man felt making that call to his own son. What a dream come true for the both of them.
Thank you, Cowboys, for releasing this video to the masses.

Anyone criticizing the Cowboys for picking this guy needs to remember that between 2020 and 2022 he had more rushing yards and more scrimmage yards than anyone else in college, period. He is undersized, but uses it to his advantage. He is a combination of Barry Sanders and Darren Sproles, who by the way, were 5'8'' and 5'6'' themselves.

I am a Red & Gold lifelong 49ers fan who absolutely HATES the Cowboys - but I teared up at this video and now want to share it with others. It's not about the team - it's about the family, the love, the respect, and all of the hard work that led up to this moment. It was beautiful to watch!

Coming from a 49er fan, this was a good moment for the NFL.
