Scott

The Broncos reportedly want to bring back the seventh-round rookie via the practice squad. They will be able to do so if he clears waivers.

Scott (6'/203) joined Illinois as a receiver and stayed in that role over his first two seasons with the team. He moved to safety in 2023 and never looked back, starting 37 of his 38 games over the next three years. Pro Football Focus graded him as a top-15 safety in run-defense last year, and he has the look of a former receiver when he squares up with wideouts in coverage. His 4.62 40-yard dash could be an issue in the pros, but Scott could work his way into a starting role with more reps at safety under his belt.
