In just his second year in the NFL after being a fourth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020, former Michigan State CB Josiah Scott had to fight for a roster spot.
It appears to have paid off, as Scott has made the Philadelphia Eagles roster after training camp.
Former MSU corner Josiah Scott has made the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster.
Local media roster predictions seemed split on Scott's roster status, so this was not a foregone conclusion.
Huge day for the lifelong Eagles fan.

Scott was traded from Jacksonville to Philadelphia for a sixth-round pick and Jameson Houston.
As a rookie in Jacksonville, Scott appeared in 6 games and recorded 11 tackles, one of which was a TFL. Scott will look to make a major impact in Philadelphia this season.
