Nick Scott joined the Rams as a seventh-round pick in 2019, just a few years after transitioning from running back to safety while at Penn State. It wasn’t surprising that he began his career as a special teams contributor, but in each of the last three years, he’s steadily increased his role and playing time.
From 2021 to 2022 alone, he went from playing 36% of the snaps to 97%, carving out a path to a starting spot next to Taylor Rapp. Now he’ll be a free agent and the Rams will have a decision to make: re-sign a key special teams player and safety or let him walk?
