Evaluation: Scott is one heckuva good looking athlete on the hoof. He is a cornerback with the offensive skills of a running back and the tackling mentality of a safety. He has adequate size and has a well built, sturdy frame. This is a guy who is versatile in coverage -- he is physical in press, strong in cover-two and smooth in his pedal in off-coverage. He is low in his back pedal and uses the shuffle technique a lot. Has smooth hips and can turn and run with little wasted motion in transition. He likes to get up in press and muscle the receiver to the sideline. He tracks the deep ball well and shows good "ups" to compete for the jump ball. Has good ball skills and is capable of big plays on interception returns. He plays the ball in front of him very well -- plants and closes quickly. Shows very good short area burst and flashes some catch-up acceleration if out of position. He plays with a good motor in run support. Isn't afraid to come up and get into the mix. Takes good angles to the ball and flashes some pop at the point of attack. Is comfortable playing near the box, will slip blocks and is a solid wrap up tackler. He is an excellent kick returner, hits the lane full speed and doesn't dance. Runs with authority and toughness and shows good speed in the open field. His movement skills are that of a safety, and he probably isn't overly explosive in terms of quickness, and though he has good speed, he isn't a burner. Overall, Scott is a great athlete with solid football instincts and playmaking ability.
