Scott is a 27 year old defensive end. He was drafted in the sixth round by the Oakland Raiders in the 2008 NFL Draft. He failed to record a single sack last season, but has 14 during his four year career, along with 77 tackles, 20 assists, one fumble forced and one pass deflection.

Scott received a terrible grade of -11.6 from Pro Football Focus last season, and according to them, was the Raiders' worst defensive player in 2011. He's has had his moments throughout his brief career, but he's been mostly inconsistent and below average overall.
