College career

Scott played five seasons for the Grambling State Tigers, redshirting his sophomore season due to injury. Over the course of his entire college career, Scott gave up only three sacks. As a senior, Scott did not allow a single sack and tallied with 39 pancake blocks and 32 knockdowns and was named first team All-Southwestern Athletic Conference.[2] He graduated with a degree in Sports Management as a junior and was working on a master's degree in Sports Administration during his senior season.[3]

Professional career

Scott made his NFL debut on September 23 against the Los Angeles Rams.[4] He made his first career start at left tackle on October 7 against the Oakland Raiders in place of an injured Russell Okung.[5] In his rookie season, Scott played in nine games with one start.
