02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Dallas Cowboys run a system that blends West Coast principles with a downhill run game, incorporating zone and gap schemes, often utilizing multiple tight ends and play-action to maximize explosive plays.

Best role

Vaughn projects as a year-one third-down specialist and change-of-pace option, with a ceiling as a dynamic gadget player capable of creating mismatches in space.

Wrong fit

He would struggle in a pure power-run, smashmouth offense that rarely utilizes backs in the passing game or outside the tackles.

Vaughn's agility and receiving prowess are tailored for an offense that values versatility and creates space for smaller, explosive playmakers, rather than one relying on brute force between the tackles.
