Early years
Scott was coached by (Drake Wilkins), where he played running back and linebacker on the football team at Southeastern High School in Detroit. "[Scott] went 110 percent on every snap and never came off the field," Scott Davis, Scott's assistant coach, remembered. Scott led the team in tackles with 635 yards during his senior season.
More than one hundred colleges had received letters; however, low SAT ratings made colleges suspicious of promising Scott a scholarship, so universities were reluctant to give him a scholarship. Scott later raised his test scores to ensure his eligibility. Scott was superb on the track during training for a Michigan high school all-star game in July, catching coach Bryan Masi's attention. Masi contacted Dan Enos, a colleague and an assistant coach at Southern Illinois; the Southern Illinois staff decided to give Scott a scholarship to him.
Scott is back to Southeastern High School almost every year to speak with students. In addition, Scott paid for new uniforms and equipment in 2005 and gave the money to upgrade the weight room in 2007. After vandals robbed the school's old bleachers, Scott paid to have a new set of bleachers installed at the academy. In honor of Scott's contributions both on and off the field, Southeastern retired his jersey in 2008.
Personal life
Scott grew up in Hurlbut Street, a violent and heroin-infested neighborhood on Detroit's east side. Despite this, Scott received advice from multiple sources, including his parents, Dorita Adams and Bart Capers, his grandmother, Gwendolyn Pippen Osborne, his siblings, Cutrice and Dawnyell, and his high school coach, Drake Wilkins.
Scott has been very involved in the community; he is active in numerous charities, including A Son Never Forgets, a charity that supports those living with paralysis, which was initiated by Scott himself in October 2006. Scott has contributed to his former neighborhood by purchasing a plot of land to build a playground near his grandmother's house, in lieu of providing equipment and meeting students at his alma mater, Southeastern High School.
Scott is married to Darnesha. They have three children, two sons, Bartholomew and Bryce, and Gisele's daughter. Scott said at one point that he does not want his son Bartholomew to play football because of the concussion issue. However, he has changed his mind and allowed his son to play football.
College career
Scott played linebacker and safety for the Southern Illinois Salukis football team at Southern Illinois University. Scott was suspended from the team for the final six games of the season after an altercation with defensive coordinator Michael Vite who chastised Scott for eating during a locker room meeting. The entire coaching staff had been fired at the end of the year; Jerry Killer was hired as the new head coach. A former employee had warned Kill about Scott's behavior. However, Kill was captivated by Scott's description of him as "a captain and king." Scott commanded the team with 127 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his senior year, earning first-team All-Gateway conference recognitions.
Scott was lauded by many NFL clubs, but only the Baltimore Ravens sent out a scout to evaluate Scott. After going undrafted, Scott signed a contract with the Ravens, impressing the Scout.
Scott completed his academic studies in 2005 and received a degree in economics. Scott later became a first-ballot member of the Southern Illinois Hall of Fame.
Professional career
During Scott's first three years with Baltimore, he was a special teams standout. However, he had no time in the defensive rotation. He appeared in all 16 regular season games and added five tackles and one interception on defense, as well as tying for the team's special teams tackles at 17. On September 8, 2002, he made his NFL debut with the Carolina Panthers. He appeared in all 16 games and one post-season game, as well as one on defense, totaling nine tackles and one fumble recovery. His 19 special teams tackles, a career high, ranked second on the team, in second place. He appeared in 13 games and made 17 special teams tackles, as well as five tackles on defense as a safety and linebacker.
Scott saw significant playing time during the 2005 season as a result of a hamstring injury, appeared in all 16 games and made 10 starts. He had 119 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and four passes defended, finishing the season with 119 tackles, four sacks, one forced fumble, two mocked fumbles, one fumble recovery, and four passes defense. Scott signed a three-year, $13.5 million contract extension with the Ravens, beating out a bid from the Cleveland Browns. Scott finished the season with a career-high 135 tackles, 9.5 sacks, two interceptions, and nine passes defenses. After being elected to replace his teammate Ray Lewis, he played in Hawaii as an alternate. Scott was chosen to the second All-Pro team of the Associated Press.
Scott played in all 16 games for the second straight season, with 131 tackles, one suspension, and three passes protected. In the fourth quarter of the Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots, Scott was suspended twice for unsportsmanlike conduct. After Scott spotted the official's flag from the first call and threw it, he called for the second call. Samari Rolle, a teammate, made allegations of disrespectful words by the official concerned following the game. Scott played in all 16 games, 1.5 sacks, and five passes defense in his last year with Baltimore.
Scott became a free agent in 2009. Both the Ravens and New York Jets competed for Scott's services. Scott agreed to the six-year, $48 million contract with New York on February 27, 2009. The Jets updated their contract by adding a year to the offer. This will reunite him with former Baltimore head coach Rex Ryan, who has said he will follow wherever.
Scott appeared in every game in his first season with New York, finishing the year with 92 tackles and a sack.
Sal Paolantonio of ESPN approached the Jets after the Jets defeated the New England Patriots in an AFC Divisional Playoff game on January 16, 2011. Scott interrupted Paolantonio with a rant defending his team and attacking "non-believers." Since being posted on YouTube, a video of the interview went viral. Despite Scott's boasts, the Jets lost in the AFC Championship to the Pittsburgh Steelers the next week. Scott appeared on TNA Impact, a professional wrestling promotion, on March 3, 2011. At a wedding reception between Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett, she was accompanied by Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, and in the end, calling attention to Kurt Angle's ankle lock.
Scott's last two years with the Jets were marred by squabbles and infighting and controversy both on and off the track. Scott was fined $10,000 on January 1, 2012, the day after the Jets lost their last three games, and the Jets missed the playoffs after losing their last three games. In the Jets' locker room in September, Scott threatened to assault a photographer. Scott attempted and failed to organise a media boycott in November, but it was limited to a few seconds. After the Jets gave up 35 points in a 49-19 blowout loss to New England, Scott verbally abused fans later this month. With the team putting up a combined record of 14-19, the Jets failed to make the playoffs in Scott's last two seasons. Scott came in last among the top returners on effectiveness in 2012, according to Pro Football Focus.
Scott was released by the Jets on February 19, 2013.
