Stevie

Scott

The team signed RB Stevie Scott in a corresponding move. Haack was cut by the Bills near the end of training camp last year but landed with the Colts before the start of the season. He served as Indy’s primary punter for the entire year. It’s possible he finds a similar path to playing time this year. Nolan Cooney appears to have won the punting gig in Arizona.

Hardy was cut by the Cowboys last month after appearing four games for Dallas as an undrafted rookie last season. Scott was most recently with the USFL’s Michigan Panthers. Both backs will help get Denver through the preseason.

Scott (6’0/225) was a three-star recruit and three-year starter for the Hoosiers who declared early after producing exactly 10 rushing touchdowns in each campaign. Because of his bruising style of play, Scott’s yards per carry average dropped from 5.0 to 4.7 to 3.6 over time, and he forced only 22 missed tackles on 156 carries as a junior per PFF. Even by power back standards, Scott has below-average agility and speed (4.64 forty), leaving him with an early-down projection only at the next level. At least Scott doesn’t turn 21 years old until after the draft.
