Contrary to his performance against Houston, the bulk of his success in this outing occurred in the pass game and specifically on screens. Scott logged 44 yards on three receptions (14.7 avg.), with a long of 18.
He actually racked 18 yards twice – once via a Brett Rypien pitch and later on one from Brosmer.
Scott said "it took some grinding over the years" but his hands are a real strength now.
"I mean, some of my college teammates saw me [drop passes], and I put time in and made that my goal, just to be super intentional with the whole process," Scott explained. "So, it's awesome to have that background and be able to call on it when needed, and still sharpening the axe when it's time to."
Scott, 6-foot-1 and 219 pounds, is built in the mold of an old school H-back. He's a tweener, if you will. Not long like a receiver, but with a background in running routes and sneaking through coverages. And sturdy like a running back, although maybe not possessing elite shiftiness in space or breakaway speed. A few favorite adjectives to describe Scott's style are explosive, determined, dependable and inspiring.
His versatility, however, is showing up as a weapon. So is his patience.
