Strengths

• Physical brand of football jumps off the tape immediately as Scott embraces contact and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty against bigger bodies in the slot.
• Outstanding run defender who triggers downhill with bad intentions and blows up pulling guards and lead blockers trying to create lanes in the run game.
• Natural blitzer with excellent timing and burst through gaps, racking up five sacks in 2025 by knifing through protection and finishing at the quarterback.
• Compact frame plays bigger than listed size due to aggressive hand usage and willingness to mix it up at the line of scrimmage against tight ends.
• Quick feet and loose hips allow him to flip his hips smoothly in man coverage and mirror routes without getting grabby or losing position through breaks.
• Strong instincts in zone coverage reading quarterback eyes and understanding route concepts, as evidenced by his 72-yard pick-six against Ohio State when he jumped the underneath route.
• Versatile defender who logged significant snaps at outside corner, slot corner, and even showed safety traits with range to cover ground sideline to sideline.
• High-energy competitor with relentless motor who plays every snap like it matters and brings leadership qualities developed through six years of college football experience.

Areas to Improve

• Inconsistent tackler who too often dives at legs instead of wrapping up, resulting in roughly 20 percent missed tackle rate that shows up on film regularly.
• Struggles when isolated on the outside against bigger, physical receivers who can use their frame to box him out at the catch point and win contested situations.
• Will bite on double moves and get caught peeking in the backfield when he should be focused on his assignment, leading to completions behind him.
• Age factor at 24 with extensive college mileage raises questions about developmental ceiling and how much better he can get at the next level.
• Gave up roughly 65 percent completion rate in coverage throughout career, suggesting deeper issues especially against pro level route runners who exploit any hesitation.
