Scouting Report/Player Notes

Scott is a guy who is really on the rise right now as an NFL prospect. He has a very intriguing skill set including pretty impressive athletic ability and for what he did last year in Rich Rodriguez’s offense, I think a lot of teams in the NFL are thinking he can be a really good player in that pistol type of offense. The jury is still out on this guy, who only had one year as a starter in college and missed the 2011 season entirely, but he’s definitely a player that scouts are interested in right now. A guy who is generating this kind of hype, it wouldn’t be a shock if he rises to the second or third round after not really being on my radar as anything more than a late-round pick.
