Professional career
Dallas Cowboys

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 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]
