Professional career

Dallas Cowboys

Vaughan was signed by the Dallas Cowboys after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft.[1][2] He surprised observers by making the team as the third-string quarterback.

On September 5, 2015, he was waived after the team decided to carry just two quarterbacks on the regular season roster.[3] The Cowboys opted not to add him to the practice squad, choosing instead to sign quarterback Kellen Moore, who had previous experience with the team's offensive coordinator Scott Linehan.

Buffalo Bills

On September 23, 2015, he was signed to the Buffalo Bills' practice squad.[4] On October 19, he was released by the Bills to make room for wide receiver Titus Davis.

Pittsburgh Steelers

On January 22, 2016, Vaughan signed a futures contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.[5] On August 28, he was waived-injured by the Steelers after suffering a thumb fracture in a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles[6] and on September 2, he was released from injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement.[7]

Baltimore Ravens

On December 27, 2016, Vaughan was signed to the Ravens' practice squad.[8] He signed a reserve/future contract with the Ravens on January 2, 2017.[9] On August 14, 2017, the Ravens waived Vaughn.[10]
