Schools such as Ohio State, Purdue, Duke, and Wisconsin made offers to Vaughn before he chose to play for Illinois. However, the decision did not work out for Vaughn at first and in 2017 he transferred to Vanderbilt as a redshirt sophomore where he finished his college football career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Vaughn burst onto the scene in 2018 as a redshirt junior where he played in 12 games and finished the season with 157 carries for 1,244 rushing yards as well as 12 touchdowns. Additionally, Vaughn averaged 7.9 yards per rush along with 103.7 rushing yards per game and his season rushing total was the second most in Vanderbilt history. The following year Vaughn\u2019s numbers dipped a bit, but he still managed to put together a solid season as he played in every game and totaled 1,015 rushing yards along with nine touchdowns.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n NFL Comparison: Stevan Ridley<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Teams With Need at Position: <\/b>Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, Miami Dolphins<\/a>, Atlanta Falcons<\/a>, Houston Texans<\/a><\/p>\n Projection: <\/b>Mid fourth to late fifth round<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Ke’Shawn Vaughn possesses no elite level qualities within his style of play. With just average speed, Vaughn does not play with enough elusiveness or lateral movement to be considered a shifty back. Additionally, Vaughn does not yet have quite enough power to be considered as a bruising short-yardage physical back. However, Vaughn does possess solid ball carrier vision which, when his offensive line opens a hole, he finds it with ease and hits it hard. Furthermore, Vaughn deserves credit for his overall style of play and will never shy away from contact as well as gives consistent leg effort when it comes to driving a pile forward. Given his lack of overall athleticism, Vaughn will need to make sure the fundamentals of his game are sound in order to stick in the NFL. He does a good job of not taking unnecessary negative yardage on plays, but his versatility as a pass-catcher along with pass protector certainly needs improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n
