The running backs room for the Denver Broncos got pretty crowded, pretty quickly, following free agency and the NFL draft, which means they needed to make room somewhere to hit their 90-man offseason roster.
That somewhere turned out to be letting go of former Dallas Cowboys running back and 2023 6th-round pick Deuce Vaughn — the shortest running back ever taken in the NFL draft.
“The Broncos have waived RB Deuce Vaughn per source,” 9News Denver’s Mike Klis wrote on his official X account on Tuesday.
Vaughn, 5-foot-6 and 173 pounds, wasn’t with the Broncos for very long after signing a futures/reserves contract on January 26.
“The Broncos are waiving RB Deuce Vaughn, source confirms,” The Denver Post’s Luca Evans wrote on X. “Spent last year on Denver’s practice squad. That would be the corresponding move to Broncos signing WR Mike Woods, I believe. So Denver is sitting at 90 countable offseason roster spots.”
